[quote=Anonymous]DS was dx with ADHD years ago and gets the accommodations (and medication!) that he needs. We recently did a reevaluation, where we learned that he's on the edge of an autism diagnosis. He's absolutely had social difficulties and trouble with flexibility and the evaluation found additional difficulties with perspective talking and identifying emotions.All together, the neuropsychologist said, he's on the edge of what can be considered autism vs just quirky. My only goal is for DS to have an accurate understanding of himself, since regardless he'll get the accommodations he needs. I don't think the psychologist will give him an official autism diagnosis unless I agree. What would you do?[/quote]
