[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure I’d be in a hurry to have more testing because you may not get a definitive answer. My DD, age 10, was just diagnosed with ASD by a neuropsychologist a few months ago. One developmental pediatrician disagrees with the diagnosis. Another says it’s probably correct, but not useful because interventions for Autism are inappropriate for DD because she’s too high functioning. My DD has no history of speech issues and is social (though awkward and her behavior is often odd), is extremely empathetic and is in a gifted program due to her very strong verbal skills. She and her neurotypical twin didn’t start speaking in sentences until they were your daughters’ ages and no one was concerned about it because multiples often talk later. Trust your gut because the specialists are experts in disorders but you are the foremost authority on your DD.[/quote]
