[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I think I mentioned this in my first post but I have a friend whose son had an ASD diagnosis at age 2 and by 5 it was removed. He's since actually proven to be hyperlexic and was incredibly skilled with large numbers at around age 3.5-4. He has interests in things like bridges, roads and routes and things like that and what it seems like happened is when he was younger, his brain was simply working on things too complex for him to adequately process and it presented as autism but as he got older and could better handle it, he no longer presented as ASD and does not have that label any longer nor an IEP. So he seems to have [b]definitely been in that group of kids diagnosed too young and wrongly.[/b] [/quote]

What it shows that child development and diagnostics are fluid.  He presented enough at the time of his evaluation to be given an autism diagnosis.  Early intervention obviously helped.  His re-assessments should that it wasn't on the spectrum, so either he has no new diagnosis or a different one.  (I do know plenty of kids on the spectrum who don't have IEPs.)[/quote]
