[quote=Anonymous]1. Your worries are unfounded. Focus on symptoms, OP. A lot of them overlap between ADHD and ASD anyway! 2. My son needed social exposure and practice, but the social skills groups we tried never worked out quite well because he wasn't a good fit with the other kids. That is VERY COMMON, and most definitely not proof that your son is not autistic. It's very difficult to create groups where kids match. 3. I always suspected my severely ADHD son was on the spectrum; it was red flagged for us at his first neuropsych at 10, and the only reason they did not diagnose ASD was that they needed to conduct extra tests which we were not willing to pay for at the time; but then ASD was confirmed at his second neuropsych at 17. At 17, I WANTED the ASD diagnosis to get him a single room with private bath in college! So don't dismiss the labels, they might come in very useful one day... [/quote]
