[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quit too.  I was not ok with child care from about 2-4.5 when my child was not verbal and need a lot of attention.  Now hitting 5, things are much better and I could probably go back to work with him in full-time care BUT, we still have speech and OT as well as activities (which help with the social) so it would be very difficult to work full-time (I probably could part-time but financially with the pay cut from being a SAHM, it isn't worth it).

[b]The spectrum is a very large spectrum[/b] so some of it depends on where your child is.  We were told our child was much worse than he really is and we think we are one of the few with a miss diagnosis or "outgrew" it (I don't think you can outgrow it but those are different issues).  Now he functions fine with a bit of extra help in a regular setting.[/quote]

This is very true.  There are several kids with an ASD diagnosis at our school - PDD-NOS and Asperger's who were diagnosed after they started school.  Their symptoms are mild and most of their parents work and the kids do aftercare without issues.[/quote]
