[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little confused. It sounds like your child has pervasive delays and needs and needs support. What supports did they recommend? Are you asking if someone else would conclude that she was not autistic? And if so, why? Do you not think she is? [/quote]

I think she's asking what else might be going on in addition to ASD, which sounds like could be important for targeting therapies.  [/quote]

Yes, this is what I was trying to ask. The Autism diagnosis isn't all that surprising. We have just had different specialists and this in the adoption world express different ideas about if this is serveral things that overlap Autism or several things that are presenting like Autism.  It only matter to me in that we approach both treatments from the right prospective and acceptance of some things just might always be different no matter the treatment. [/quote]

You sort of threw the adoption piece in there without any details, but if the child was adopted, it might be worth talking to the KKI International Adoption Clinic, not as a second opinion per se, but in conjunction with the autism diagnosis.
