[QUOTE="Malika, post: 529550, member: 11227"] This reminds me of "false syllogisms" - an incorrect conclusion drawn from two premises - from the year of philosophy I did at university. 1. Some people with autism are incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD at an early age. 2. The poster has been told that her son, at an early age, is probably ADHD and is not autistic. 3. The poster's son is autistic. Reading the poster's original post, if she has been told her son is not autistic I don't think we can really draw the inference from that that this is necessarily an incorrect diagnosis! It may be incorrect or it may not. I don't think we are in a position, in a virtual forum and not even having seen the child concerned, to give diagnoses ourselves, however tempting and inevitable it perhaps is to see our own child's issues manifested everywhere...
