[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your concerns are normal. Just so you know, sometimes, you do get the kid is fine response. A friend of mine was encouraged by her son's preschool teachers to be assessed. And they told them this. Her second kids is majorly Aspergers and they waited until 6 to go to a developmental pediatrician. My guess is that sense there's a genetic component, that the older child showed similar behaviors when he was younger but not extreme enough to be considered on the spectrum. For us our visit was fantastic b/c it confirmed all the little things I was observing and gave us a plan of action. In our case, our kid isn't on the spectrum but has other learning issues, which is a little like being on a scavenger hunt. You get your first clue, and little by little you get more clues go for additional testing as the kid gets older. GL[/quote]
