[quote=Anonymous]I think its less likely that a diagnosis was missed than maybe there is a diagnosis that is not appropriate yet - or maybe not, as it could pass. My son is very, very similar in behaviors, but he has speech and fine motor delays. The dev ped thinks we are looking at ADHD down the road. He was premature. Delays often cause things that look like autism. My son has a lot of joint attention - look at me, this, help me, come here, play with me, all day long - and is very social and engaging and affectionate and has a ton of empathy, and is very socially motivated/excited, which is why autism was ruled out. He had very limited pretend play until he was almost 4. In our case, our son has regulation/attention/hyperactive issues that make him unable to calm down and focus. This sounds more like what is going on with your child than autism. I think if no delays have been noted, I would wait a little. [/quote]
