[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a mom of a kid with hfa, who has many, many friends with kids with a similar profile, please tell him what the psychologist suspects. Since you haven't had him formally assessed (neuropsych testing or equivalent) you don't know for sure. But he has a right to know what is going on inside him. Not one kid that I know who has been told has felt anything but relief. However, YOU have to be okay with it. Autism is not a bad word. It is a different way a person's brain works. That's it. Like most brain differences, it can bring many challenges, but there are positive aspects, too. Please tell him. Don't treat it like a dirty word.[/quote] I don't think it's a dirty word. I have sought out testing before but what's the point now? its not going to get him services. he doesn't need them anyway,[/quote]
