[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid sounds like mine at that age, and this is basically the diagnosis he has now at age 9 from his speech therapist (I think they called it semantic pragmatic disorder). I told his psychologist I wasn't interested in an ADOS at this time because the distinction between autism and "social communication disorder" in the DSM is irrelevant (for DS, at this point) because it won't change any services we seek right now. [/quote] And the prejudice against autism rears it's ugly head. You weren't "interested" in the ADOS b/c you know your speech therapist can't diagnose autism and god forbid, you have a child with autism. [/quote]
