[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you who are saying that OP's child is just a "normal kid" who is behaving badly are doing her a real disservice.  First of all, this child has been diagnosed -- [b]TWICE by two different professionals [/b]-- as having an ASD.  Presumably they had more to go by than just a paragraph on a message board, not to mention professional expertise.  I am assuming that you don't have a child on the spectrum yourself because you don't recognize the rigidity and special interests.

And the reason you are doing OP a disservice is that you are feeding her denial.  Read her post again.  She has a diagnosis -- TWO, by TWO professionals -- and yet she is looking for ways to find something else going on, some other "condition" that would explain her child.  And you are serving it up to her, because you think you know more than the professionals who have presumably done a full evaluation.

OP, ignore the posters who don't know what they are talking about and go back to to one of the professionals who diagnosed your child and ask him or her where to go from here.[/quote]

OP said child had been seen by "dozens" of people. So most of the professionals don't agree with the ASD diagnosis. I'd wager that if you took any special needs child to two dozen "professionals" in this day and age, at least two would say the child is on the spectrum.

OP, it's quality, not quantity. Find the very best person to diagnose your child, and go from there. In any case, ASD or no, a child needs to be taught that being rude is not OK, not to a parent or anybody else. It will be socially isolating no matter the condition. [/quote]
