[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. Do you all think age 6 is a good age for a neuropsych? I can definitely see anxiety as part of what is going on as well. No one has ever thought Autism/Aspergers. He is currently seen by speech therapists, occupational therapists and a dev ped. The home situation has become very hard and I dont have any resource for home life yet other than ot sensory diet activities.[/quote] 6/7 is the minimum age for a neuropsych but from what you describe, I would try medicating for ADHD now and see if it makes a difference. Stimulants are short acting and why wait a year and make everyone suffer. What does the dev ped say? Also you can request an ADOS/ADI-R which is the gold standard for evaluating for ASD. It can be done at any age, although there is a long wait at least get on the waitlist now at Children’s and/or KKI. Get on the waitlist for both, you can cancel the other if you get in earlier with one. [/quote]
