[quote=Anonymous]My dd wasn't dx until age 4 and a half. Her ped had concerns starting at the 12 month visit, and she was nonverbal past age 3. But being a girl, it was like, 'she's just a shy quiet girl'. No, she was nonverbal! I had to really advocate for her and her needs. She was in Early Intervention, then had an IEP after that. I've seen boys who were like her, dx around age 2 or 3. Sometimes I wonder how old she would have been dx at, had I not advocated for her. She's clearly autistic and it does impact her life. In fact ,we are switching to a SN school this fall. If she didn't have a dx, she would fall through the cracks. OP, I think you should have the eval. It doesn't mean your dd will get a dx. There are things besides asd that can cause speech delays. The idea is that you find out how to best help her.[/quote]
