[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^So I see OP's DD did have ADOS and it wasn't just the inexperienced developmental pediatrician who diagnosed ASD as stated on the first post.

Go see the Camarata's if you wish... it's a journey.[/quote]

ADOS with an inexperienced tester can lead to a wrong diagnosis.  [/quote]

Developmental pediatrician. Camarata’s are good for a nonverbal IQ year and that’s pretty much it. 
There’s no follow up or any kind of support from them. Take your child to a good  dev ped regularly.
They will have recommendations for you.  [/quote]

Not our experience at all with the Camaratas. They conferenced in our IEPs, gave us a strategic plan of action, etc.

OP you can also schedule a phone conference with Mary. I know several people who have done this and to a person they were all happy they did.[/quote]
A lot of DCUM posters have complained that they don't give the extended support and individual attention the way they used to.  Personally, I think that follow-up is very important.  No matter how skilled they are, I still want someone who continue to provide support as needed.[/quote]
