[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my Asperger DS, the characteristic that mostly sticks out is the obsessive interests in fans and now elevators. He's had passing interests in cars, fire hydrants, traffic cones, doors, gears, lights/fixtures, flashlights, etc. categorizing and organizing but they have always been secondary to fans and now elevators.[/quote] My AS child was diagnosed this yr by a developmental pediatrician, observation at school, in his office, forms filled out by teacher and parent, and child neuropsych using ADOS, parent interview, forms for teacher and parent, Wippsi, speech therapist, etc. School psych - school observation, teacher & parent forms & interviews. They all came to the same conclusion independently - Aspergers. His social deficits are borderline normal but his obsessions and repetitive behaviors are beyond normal enough to qualify for Aspergers. I was told all three are weighed equally in giving the diagnosis. [/quote]
