[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 70166, member: 1550"] Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a neurological problem. Often regular psycologists/Psychiatrists miss it. NeuroPsychs know how to test for it. Unfortunately, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are often overlooked as ADHD because high functioning autism has only been recognized for ten years--many professionals don't know what it looks like and will pass it off because "he makes eye contact" or "he's too friendly." We had this. However, even mild Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) requires life/social interventions or else they can't get better and get more frustrated. As do the parents! Often, they are VERY bright and learn to read fast and have big vocabularies, but can't even tie their shoes and have no idea how to hold a give-and-take conversation. Many can't grasp a pencil right (my son still can't write well at age fourteen-he has to print rather than write). Pottying is often late due to sensory issues. My son was trained by five. I hope you can find good help across the pond and can figure out what is really wrong. My son also scored mild-Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). He has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
