[quote=Anonymous]Your child is very young, OP. Early intervention is the key right now. You can do it through the school system. And, you don't have to share that DS has been diagnosed with ASD. He could get help through their early intervention program and have a label of Developmental Delay. This is a category that the school ages kids out of at age 7.

This allows you to keep some things about your child's medical  situation private while still getting county services. Most people love their county's pre-k and early intervention services.

A lot of things about a child's development are still fluid at 2. But KKI is one of the best places to have your child evaluated. I would take their diagnosis and recommendations very seriously.

My child was diagnosed with an ASD at age 3.5. Many things about his development were not really clear to me until about that age. I had suspicions at age 2. A lot is going to change -- hopefully for the better -- with maturity and therapy. Don't turn away any sources of help.

Are you in MoCo? There is a great parent organization that you can reach out to with questions: http://www.xminds.org  [/quote]
