[QUOTE="keista, post: 474612, member: 11965"] Ditto [B]Insane[/B]'s questions and comments. A random response such as "Barney is Purple" is very indicative of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Of course, it is only one indicator. One of the difficulties I'm sure you're aware of is that his chronological age is much older than his behavioral age. As difficult as it is, you have to treat him as his behavioral age. I've dealt with this with my older kids in a different way. They are tall and big and developed for their ages, so subconsciously I'd treat them (teachers and strangers do this too) as the age they looked, and only when it backfires do I remember that they are two years younger than I'm *thinking*. DD1 actually has 3 ages - biological = 13, chronological = 10, emotional = 8. Add to that that Autism was once [B]ruled out[/B] for her, and now it's on the table. [/QUOTE]
