[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who exactly did the evaluations before and what did they do (e.g. did they do the ADOS or something else?) [/quote] StrongStart DC did the evaluation. Not sure whether it was ADOS or something else. There was a psychologist, speech and language pathologist and occupational therapist who did the test. [/quote] I think you need a more thorough exam - by a neuropsychologist or perhaps a developmental pediatrician. The ones done by StrongStart or Early Stages are less thorough are designed to catch children with the most significant issues or delays. A lot of things can look like autism - you want someone who will look at the whole picture and determine what sorts of interventions may needed to help your child. That said, it's really hard to be certain in young children and you may not know for sure until he is older. [/quote]
