[quote=Anonymous]I wish my child had gotten a diagnosis at 18 months. He had very pronounced repetitive movements and a family history of ASD. But my ped's ignorance, and belittling of my concerns, kept us from a diagnosis until 3. OP says she is confident of the diagnosis... OP -- you will hear many stories on here of school systems trying to remove supports too early for ASD kids. The brutal truth is that while some goals are met, these kids get totally tripped up by new challenges as they grow: making and keeping friends, attending to group instruction, holding pencils, remembering how to make the letters and numbers, etc, etc, etc. Mainstream pre-k was a disaster for my ASD kid: he ran away from the playground, couldn't sit/attend to group time, major need for OT for fine and gross motor, and more. At 6, a lot of that is better. But we now have other issues. I will fight tooth and nail to keep the most supportive IEP I can get. You should too![/quote]
