[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 234135, member: 1991"] easy child 2/difficult child 2's pediatrician insists she doesn't have Asperger's because she makes good eye contact with him. As she says herself, "I know him. But I have to work at making eye contact with customers." I wouldn't be hard on a doctor who gets it wrong. Especially when the kids are younger, sometimes it's really difficult to get a diagnosis right. Our former GP was a lovely bloke, but he was puzzled by difficult child 3. Then I did some reading one day and said to him, "What about Asperger's?" He smacked his forehead. "Of course! Why didn't I think of it?" Then the pediaitrician diagnosed autism rather than Asperger's. I challenged the diagnosis, got another clinic to assess. They confirmed the autism. The pediaitrican was quite OK with me for doing this, he supported the 2nd opinion. Marg [/QUOTE]
