[quote=Anonymous]We got a somewhat late diagnosis. I completely understand why you’re beating yourself up (been there), but the truth is that if your ds is so high functioning that specialists missed the diagnosis for years, then most interventions for autism wouldn’t have been appropriate or helpful for your son anyway. Your ds just needs practical, hands-on coaching for social interactions, which is what you’re giving him. The best things he can do now are to pay attention to the behaviors modeled by others and to speak up and ask questions when he’s not sure what kind of response is called for in a situation.[/quote]
