[QUOTE="rachelfran, post: 64233, member: 3955"] this is very helpful... Max had some speech delays and enunciation difficulties and in general an immature speech pattern. He does conduct normal conversation but doesn't understand social niceties and queues - in my opinion. He does have some physical delays - mostly balance issues - though again nothing major or obvious to the casual observer.. he does get physical therapy during the school year.... Generally, Max's social skills are poor... he's often playing by himself though will interact with-other kids for brief periods... He will look you in the eye and most folks he's come across do not think he's on the spectrum - including these various therapists and his kindergarten teachers - both gen ed and Special Education. I am still trying to get a hold of someone where my brother works to see if we can get an neuropsychologist evaluation...
