[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 28510, member: 1550"] SRL has really good advice. Kids diagnoses at young ages are often missed or, worse, misdiagnosed. My son was 11 before they FINALLY caught the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Why do they feel your son isn't autistic? I got the "his eyes contact is too good" "he's too friendly" etc...the whole commercial. The fact is he DOES have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and fortunately he got the interventions for it because I insisted (I believed he had it even when the professionals didn't think so). The older my son got, the more obvious it became that he was very different from other kids--higher functioning autism is often not diagnosed until the kids are older.It just gets missed. I'd definitely see a developmental pediatrician. He or she will keep an eye on his development. It's impossible to rule out anything at so young an age. It's best to keep an open mind, not always trust the professionals, go with you gut instincts, and get your child as much help as you can as early as you can. That never hurts. Delaying treatment does hurt. [/QUOTE]
