[QUOTE="SRL, post: 21962, member: 701"] Keep researching then. Two things I will mention about AS: one, I've rarely met up with a parent of a 3 year old who at first glance feels their child fits the description. Second, it's a very elusive diagnosis for a young child because it's fairly common for some of the traits to show up later as the child spends more time out in the world and away from home/parent. Children who are outgoing 3 year olds may start to flounder when the social demands are greater at age 6. Or kids with good eye contact at 2 may develop eye contact problems at age 4. It's a tough one to nail down. Two other areas to look into, again both difficult to recognize in young kids or borderline kids. Even if none of this rings a bell, I still think you ought to push for the evaluation. [/QUOTE]
