[quote=Anonymous]In our case we've been told SPD by an OT, "possibly somewhere on the spectrum" by a dev ped, and two SLPs have told us that the problem is motor in origin. I tend to believe that HFA is possible since that was the feedback from a dev ped, and I think they are more qualified to diagnose. Also, SPD isn't really recognized by the DSM yet. That being said, this is a frustrating issue for me because my DC doesn't fit many of the criteria for ASD. I suspect that in the future the spectrum won't be as broad reaching. Our knowledge of ASD and developmental disorders is very much in it's infancy, so for now we are just treating the symptoms according to the worst case scenario (ASD) and hoping for the best![/quote]
