[QUOTE="keista, post: 529466, member: 11965"] LMAO! YES! So to get back to OP and the whole reason Insane and I got so off topic, is that although the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) has worked with many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, she hasn't worked with ALL of them. There may be flavors and styles she has not experienced or experienced them but at the time she experienced them, they had a completely different diagnosis so she DOES NOT KNOW that she actually did see Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) because it was being called something else. in my opinion it's a lot more reliable and beneficial to listen to the ppl who say maybe this, maybe that, than to listen to ppl who say Oh definitely NOT that. I'm personally guilty of doing that. I was ADAMANT that I was more Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) than DD1 was. Even had a psychologist "rule it out". Yeah, um, er, well, guess what? She's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). she has mood disorders as well, but is also and Aspie. AND if you've "ruled something out" and a few years down the road, you still haven't gotten to what you feel are good dxes? Don't hesitate to revisit. Ultimately the goal is to get our kids the best possible help we can get them. I've told teachers and service providers that they can say DD1 is a purple people eater, as long as she gets the treatment and accommodations she needs. [/QUOTE]
