[quote=Anonymous]We're going through the process of getting our son into the County special ed preschool program.  Once he is found eligible, he can receive services ranging from speech therapy to OT while he is there.  The program is 1/2 day, 2-5 days a week depending on what your child needs.  Have you begun this process at all?  Is your child in Early Intervention?  If your child is in EI, then they transition to the County services regularly, and can definitely guide you on how the process works.

I'm curious...what made you get a second opinion?  Your situation is interesting to me because my son was dxed with ASD just after he turned 2...and was said to be mild....I think mostly because he doesn't exhibit many of the classic autism behaviors.  He is VERY smiley with both my husband and I, as well as others....doesn't exhibit repetitive behaviors like lining up objects etc.  He is not what I'd call a social butterfly, but he tolerates a traditional daycare with many children in his class.  He is extremely hyper...and we've always wondered about the ADHD component.
