[QUOTE="buddy, post: 519752, member: 12886"] I have administered autism tests and asperger's protocols and there is not any rule out item, including in the diagnostic criteria in the DSM that says if a child is affectionate then they are not on the autism spectrum. Some kids are not...some are some are at times, some are on THEIR terms etc. I feel so awful when people say one symptom rules in or out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), so many kids get missed that way. oh and a little funny since we talk about this all the time. Q has never had an ODD diagnosis (and if any kid should have he probably should have, LOL) including when he was in the hospital for three weeks. They said he has too many times when he sounds oppositional but is doing what is asked, and he just doesn't do what other kids who are really like that do... but... Last sun when he was in the behavioral er for all of 2 hours and seen by a doctor (who was really nice and understanding and stated all the right things when we talked)...upon discharge, I got the paper and it said autism, brain injury and ODD..... I thought you all would LOVE that! [/QUOTE]
