[quote=Anonymous]My older child is definitely, without a doubt, autistic. Level 1, but it impacts every area of his life, especially school and relationships, and there are substantial impairments. My younger child (in high school) has been diagnosed with ADHD, but I'm wondering if he might be autistic, under the much broader definition. But if his brother is level 1, he would be level .5. Yes, he's had social difficulties and yes he gets stuck on some things too much, but in general, life is much easier for him than for his brother. ADHD medication and basic accommodations have worked well for him, he gets good grades, and he (finally, after some very difficult years), has a group of friends, although he is most definitely out of the social mainstream. He needs an updated neuropsych anyway. What are the pros/cons of asking them to consider/evaluate for autism?[/quote]
