[quote=Anonymous] OP, I've been in a similar situation, and the best thing to do is just let the school do the testing they want. It will provide you with another datapoint and you don't have to agree with the results. The way you describe child, ADHD, social pragmatic issues, behavioral issues -- this will look like autism to many teachers. What you need to focus on is the specific needs that are interfering with his education, including the social issues. Once you understand what those issues are, request an IEP meeting to address them. If your kids issues are severe enough to create teacher concern, you are likely eligible for an IEP. You have a proactive teacher. That's good. Talk to her about what she is seeing in classroom. It may be very different from what you see at home or what the dev ped sees. t [/quote]
