[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a child at a highly regarded charter that was dx the summer after middle school…which was 2 years after starting at that school. The ASD symptoms were very subtle and when they were noticed by 1-2 teachers, they just assumed it was quirkiness (per the report card narrative). There were never any behavior issues, no medication or support was needed and child always excelled academically so we never shared the dx with the school.[/quote] What was the point of the evaluation, then? Typically people only go through the trouble & expense if there are challenges, which should be apparent in all settings if it’s actually warranted to give a dx. Autism is not that subtle- it’s not just being “quirky.” It has to cause clinically significant impairment. [/quote] Are you an ASD specialist/child psychologist? So many doctors on this forum.
