[QUOTE="KateM, post: 17260, member: 1973"] I agree with Midwest Mom. Awareness certainly has increased. My son was diagnosis way back at age 5 with ADD. But each professional that met him would say "This is beyond ADD", yet he wasn't diagnosis as Aspergers til he was almost 14yo. Fortunately, we had some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions in place, such as Social Skills. However, we probably would have had him in the public school system --where he would have gotten services-- if we had the diagnosis sooner. As it was, he was in a small Catholic school, which was supportive, but didn't have the resources and accomadations available in the public school. [/QUOTE]
