[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 35221, member: 2423"] We honestly can't diagnose over the internet, but in your shoes, I'd want my difficult child to have either a multidisciplinary evaluation, a neuropsychological evaluation or an evaluation with a developmental pediatrician (all can be found at university and children's hospitals). The fact of the matter is she has red flags -- inattention, sensory issues, fine motor challenges and a speech delay -- for an autism spectrum disorder (and it is a spectrum from mild to severe) that should be checked out. Unfortunately, neurologists sometimes miss Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Furthermore, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is sometimes missed until the child is older and the differences more apparent. I'm not saying she has it or doesn't, but I'd certainly recommend having a thorough evaluation to rule it in or out. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
