[quote=Anonymous]I can only talk about Asperger's but I think to rule it out, you really need input from teachers and/or a developmental pediatrician who can observe a child with same age peers. I have a kid with AS who passed all screenings for autism with flying colors and our pediatrician and we never suspected he had any issues at all. He is great with adults: great eye contact, very verbal, etc. It wasn't until he in seen in a classroom with kids his age that any deficits are apparent and I know for a fact that if our developmental pediatrician had not seen him at school and spoken to his teachers, he would never have been diagnosed and given the help and supports he needs. In your case, I would put more weight on the teachers who work with your child every day than an adult who only interacted with your child for 1.5 hrs. [/quote]
