[quote=Anonymous]I am sort of in your shoes, OP. Who made the autism diagnosis? Our preschool's therapist thought our son had ASD at 2 but we pursued an eval from an excellent Autism Center, and they did not think he was autistic. A lot of his autism-like behaviors were social anxiety-based. We placed him in private speech therapy and an excellent preschool that would help him with small group play, and he is doing great (also 4.5). We are sending him to a private K next year. We shall see. Ours has caught up on speech but we are keeping him in therapy to make sure all his sounds develop properly and because his therapist is so good with helping reduce his anxiety (because he can express himself). That is what the Director of the Autism Center suggested. I would probably switch to the private and supplement with speech if there is any reason at all to do so. Good luck, it is stressful trying to make the right choice.[/quote]
