[quote=Anonymous]DS is almost 3 and has no ASD diagnosis although he has what his dev ped calls "ASD traits". Dev ped told us that if we sought diagnoses with another specialist, we have 50/50 chances of getting an actual ASD diagnosis. DS has no "physical" symptoms (no digestive issues, sleep issues, skin or autoimmune) so far. He has speech delay, some intense interests/borderline repetative behaviors, attention and sensory seeking issues. The label hasn't mattered--obviously he has issues (though some friends/family don't see it) and we intervened fairly intensively by 18 months old. One of his OTs was "sure" he has ASD, the others have said no or if so, very HFA. If he did get the ASD label, I could see him "outgrowing" it and having other diagnoses (ADHD, etc.) stick. Hard to say what progress he would have made without the interventions.[/quote]
