[quote=Anonymous]OP, you can trust the schools in so far as getting support services. At this point he can be coded as "Developmental Delay." I'm not familiar with Colorado, but I would suggest getting in touch with your local or state chapter of ARC: http://www.thearcofco.org You need to see a developmental pediatrician. ARC might be able to point you in the right direction. ST and OT issues could be symptomatic of more than just autism (and are not always present for kids with autism either). Bottom line, he may need the same services whether his diagnosis is autism or low tone and a language and/or communication disorder. I have a kid who has ADHD (extreme) and a communication disorder. He's not on the spectrum, but his therapeutic trajectory would be the same regardless. It's no picnic either. So there's no need to search for a smoking gun to prove it isn't autism with the school at this point. Get as much support as you can in terms of services. [/quote]
