[QUOTE="SRL, post: 22051, member: 701"] Suzy, this is why I think a professional opinion added together with parent research and observation is very valuable. I was a careful observer but there were things I missed. Fine motor skills for example--my son could write legible letters by his third birthday and write sentences with ease 6 months later. I figured that made for good fine motor skills as did his preschool teacher but the developmental pediatrician had him do one simple series of movements and saw very clearly what I missed. I never would have pegged him in the direction the doctor did but a few months after the diagnosis I began seeing more clearly why the doctor made the call he did. Recognizing that something was "amiss" and taking the first steps with my pediatrician opened up a lot of doors I never dreamed I'd be looking down! [/QUOTE]
