[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For people who are astounded by 3 ADOS rounds by age 10[b] are missing the point that the OP on top of his/her kid's delays.[/b]  When they're administered to a very young kid, it's pretty basic and involve things like blowing up a balloon.  It's not a big deal at all.

The point of doing a neuropsych evaluation is ultimately to determine what educational supports and/or related therapies would help.  As a parent, I two would err on the side of doing a full evaluation and not just the ADOS.

A neuropsych can evaluate for autism, but it can also screen for possible additional diagnoses such as...
-- anxiety and/or ADHD which can't be diagnosed by the ADOS alone.  If this is the case, you may want to consider medications.
--dyslexia or dysgraphia (which would impact his executive functioning)
Or your kid could end up with a diagnosis of Social Communication Pragmatics Disorder--and while not autism would probably require the same in terms of educational supports.

OP, when you went to KKI did you meet with a developmental pediatrician?  Did they flag any motor coordination issues?[/quote]

And what is she getting out of all of it?

She needs a expert in language disorders. [/quote]
