[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We've done bio-med already -- our DD does indeed have gluten allergies and has had, in the past, yeast imbalances.  I'm surprised, slightly, to hear everyone whose responded so far jump on the ASD possibility -- is that the only possibility, really, with stilted language and awkward conversations? If it is, i'm fine. I've long gotten over the possibility of it being devastating but is that really the only possibility?   And if it is Aspergers or PDD-NOS or whatever, would I be doing anything besides what I'm already doing with Speech and OT in school and social group?  BTW, it was a private provider and they said when we met that she absolutely did not fall into the ASD category because she was so social -- she is very interested in being social rather. She loves kids, and tries to keep up with them, but something is definitely off. [/quote]

17:10 again and again I'm wondering if its the same neuropsych we had because he told us the same thing -- absolutely not an ASD.  he was absolutely wrong.  I am NOT saying your DD is on the spectrum, just relating our experience.

I have to gently disagree with the idea that diagnoses don't matter.  I hear that fairly often and frankly I think its an attitude that just perpetuates the shame and stigma  of an ADS.  Its a medical disorder, lets deal with it in a straightforward manner.  Its not the third rail.  For us the diagnosis was incredibly important not just so we could understand what our DS needs, but so that he could understand himself.  he is doing incredibly well, has friends, and sees this as just one aspect of who he is, but not a defining thing.

But I digress.  Dan Shapiro is a fantastic developmental ped but I don't know if he's taking new patients.[/quote]
