[quote=Anonymous]My older son has asd (diagnosed at 3) & adhd (diagnosed at 5).  Developmental pediatrican suspects my younger daughter (5 year old) have asd and adhd, and she is on long waiting list for ADOS testing. Since she is 5 already, I still cannot tell that she has asd. My older son does not have typical signs for asd, and he is cheerful, social, talkative, no lining up toys, love to make friends. He is a bit rigid, need to learn emotional regulation, a bit silly & weird, and miss some social friendship signs to maintain friendship. It was me insisting to test him for autism at 1.5 year old, 2 year old year, and 3 year old, and they finally confirmed that he has asd.

For my 5 year old daughter, I don't see any signs for asd. She is cheerful, talkative, funny, and she is good at making and maintaining friendship. She has a lot of facial emotion, unlike my older son. She is good at kissing asses and sweet talks. I may miss something because she is a girl. What could I miss? She still has speech disorder & she may have adhd & learning difficulties. Anyone knows that if ADOS testing can also diagnosis other things like adhd or so?  [/quote]
