[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had an excellent experience with Stixrud. Over the years, a number of school professionals have pushed an ASD diagnosis for my DS. We aren't avoiding that diagnosis but it isn't correct and isn't appropriate. DS has a language disorder, apraxia, ADHD and anxiety. The behaviors he displays are frequently associated with ASD but come from a different source. Stixrud was very good at teasing out the issues. HTH.[/quote] So, how does this affect what treatments/therapies you seek for your child, and what school placement you have? [/quote] Not the first PP or the OP but how does your answer help either posters? You sound a bit defensive to me. Why would someone NOT want to get an appropriate diagnosis regardless of what the treatments are? Why would someone want their child to carry a label that is not accurate just that label can follow this child throughout the rest of their academic career? [/quote]
