[quote=Anonymous]My DD is on the waiting list for ASD evaluation. I don't see any signs pointing to ASD diagnosis in her but they tell me ASD symptoms in girl are different. They consider genetic factor that FIL, BIL, DH and DS have ASD/ADHD, and they don't want to miss DD in case she has it. I can tell that DD possibly has ADHD. My gut feeling was that DS had ASD when he was tested in the first place when he was little, and they did not give him official ASD dx until he got older with extra evaluation follow ups. He was talkative, social and outgoing, but it was all other little details (inconsistent eye contact, miss some social cues etc) telling me that something was wrong with him. School thought that ASD dx was wrong, but they agreed that he had ASD when they got to know him more a few years after. It was bad that a teacher thought that he was just a jerk one year and she did not agree that he had ASD (all excuses to his behavior in her eyes). [/quote]
