[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, thanks all. Got the message and won’t say anything else about it. My goal is not to get my niece a diagnosis, it’s to get her some help after experiencing her behavior for a couple weeks and feeling bad for her daily struggles. And re: my friend the SLP, she only made the comment after seeing my sister try to negotiate with my niece and deal with an epic meltdown she had when we ran into her. My friend was coming from a place of sympathy assuming my niece was on the spectrum. I don’t necessarily think she is (not sure it matters either way) but it opened my eyes even more that outsiders see my niece for just 20 mins and think her behavior is abnormal.[/quote] SLPs aren't qualified to diagnose autism anyway so I sure as sh*t would'nt mention THAT to them. But I agree, MYOB, and just be a present and supportive aunt. [/quote]
