[quote=Anonymous]Not sure what testing you've had ... but since we had a thorough neuro-psych previously that identified ADHD and LD, we were able to do the ADOS/ADI-R at Children's National for just the co-pay. And it was scheduled pretty quick too. I'm of the same opinion as others ... having the diagnosis helps with DS's self identity and self esteem. He's a bit younger than yours and is pretty strongly affected by anxiety and rigidity, so it's more of a factor with school, but I'd want to be able to provide him with this information regardless. I also sometimes wonder if I also have Aspergers and am fairly confident my brother does. I think having the testing to rule in or rule out would answer some questions. [/quote]
