[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 498709, member: 8831"] here is my opinion... at his age, i dont think i'd be pushing for a label--its VERY hard to unring that bell if its wrong. i'd treat the symptoms and address the issues, one by one, in a similar fashion to what would be done if it was Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)--meaning, sp for pragmatic language, Occupational Therapist (OT) for sensory issues, and so forth. its much easier to accomplish this when they are younger without a traditional diagnosis. if you think that might be the right diagnosis, i'd find a parent group to joint--they know EVERYTHING and will be a great resource to help guide you in your area. as time goes on, theoretically the diagnosis will be clear (i say theoretically, lol). but unless the school will not address issues without a label (illegal) there really isnt a good enough reason to do it when things are so murky. yet. :-) just my opinion of course.
