[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, ASD isn't diagnosed by a checklist. If the school wants to evaluate for autism, they need to do it right or not at all. Especially since many of the symptoms that might look like ASD could easily be ADHD. Second, your son should get the services he needs based on his needs, not his diagnosis. So don't let the school say, he needs X but can only get it if he has autism.[/quote] Exactly. It sounds like he's already identified by the school has having ADHD for the 504 plan. The real question now is whether he needs additional supports (an IEP) to access the curriculum. This shouldn't feel like a fishing expedition for one particular diagnosis, but rather an overall eligibility determination under IDEA. [/quote]
