[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to us with my DS -- also n early reader, but not as early as this. Three different evaluations told us he was fine, in spite of a whole list of issues. We finally saw a developmental pediatrician who diagnosed Aspergers. That was 10 years ago and no one would question the diagnosis now.

OP, your DC sounds like she does have an ASD and I would find a good developmental pediatrician. This person needs to observe your DD in a classroom setting (thats what was missing in our earlier evaluations). A one on one meeting tells you nothing.

I get so frustrated with the people who say such a child is "just quirky." The longer you wait to get interventions and support, the more difficult it is to treat. The diagnosis matters for a whole lot of reasons.[/quote]

The only developmental pediatrician in the area who goes observe at school is Dr Shapiro and OP's child is too old since Shapiro only takes new patients 4 yrs old and younger.  Her best bet is ADOS/ADI-R which Children's center for autism spectrum disorders does among others.[/quote]
