[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We've done bio-med already -- our DD does indeed have gluten allergies and has had, in the past, yeast imbalances.  I'm surprised, slightly, to hear everyone whose responded so far jump on the ASD possibility -- is that the only possibility, really, with stilted language and awkward conversations? If it is, i'm fine. I've long gotten over the possibility of it being devastating but is that really the only possibility?   And if it is Aspergers or PDD-NOS or whatever, would I be doing anything besides what I'm already doing with Speech and OT in school and social group?  BTW, it was a private provider and they said when we met that she absolutely did not fall into the ASD category because she was so social -- she is very interested in being social rather. She loves kids, and tries to keep up with them, but something is definitely off. [/quote]

ASD is basically an opinion. We've taken our child to the same doctor, and at one meeting she says my child is ASD and at another she says my child is completely off the spectrum. BTW, PDD-NOS and Aspergers are both ASD diagnoses. Look at the symptoms. A diagnosis is not necessary, OP, and can be harmful because it squeezes your child into a box. She may have some aspects of Aspergers, some ASD symptoms, some OCD, some ADHD, some sensitivities to various substances, noise, sensory stuff, a whole mishmosh of symptoms that vary depending on the time of day! We've had great success with speech therapy. We also had our child tested for learning disabilities, even though our child is very bright and was doing well in school. Do as much research as you can, OP, and make up your own mind about your child. You cannot rely on experts solely. They usually diagnose your child with whatever they specialize in, at least that was our experience. Best of luck to you. Keep working at it, and your child will improve. [/quote]
