[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it can get very worse. Sorry. If I could choose, I'd rather it be autism. Mood disorders are much more challenging to treat.[/quote] How do I know if he has a mood disorder at 5?[/quote] In our experience,[b] a lot of things look alike at five[/b], even to $$$$ professionals. I have a child who was very similar to yours at the same age, and now at 10 the tentative diagnoses are HFA and OCD/anxiety. We were told definitely "no autism" by several pros during g the preschool years. Sometimes they just don't know.[/quote] I agree with this. We have severe ADHD, OCD, and anxiety. To the untrained eye, our kid will look very similar to a child with autism and requires similar accommodations to a kid with autism at school. Medication is trial, error, trial, error. The older a child gets, usually the more clear it becomes. OP, I would suggest supplementing with behavioral or ABA. [/quote]
