[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. So basically, other than that children's diagnosis on that doctor's letterhead recommending follow up's that was sent to our pediatrician, we have no other proof that DC was suspected to have autism. We didn't want to believe it and were getting services anyways so it is not on official records. DC has shown lots of improvement since then, except for being slow in everything. DC works very hard (used to be distracted before but now very focused yet DC is slow).

Given the IQ scores above, does this being slow seem like a disability? [/quote]
Was the autism diagnosis given on the basis of ADOS?[/quote]

Is ADOS the in person observation? She observed my kid playing  2 times for maybe 30 min and then wrote down the diagnosis. We thought it was a bunch of crock and hence why we never went back.

DC had good eye contact then and now too. But DC gets anxious a lot, hardly opens mouth to speak (very quiet generally, always second guesses if they are saying the right thing in response and doesn't initiate conversations unless it is with friends and family). In group settings like sleep overs with friends, DC is always the quietest person.[/quote]
