[quote=Anonymous]OP, the way I understand the DSM, there are certain boxes that have to be ticked for someone to fall into a certain diagnosis. If a person is just short of the line for official diagnosis, many of the same techniques to deal with that diagnosis (e.g., social skills, OT, CBT, visual schedules, whatever) may still be useful if you don't cross the line into that diagnosis. I recently read this book and found it helpful - it's kind of about kids that may or may not fall into a diagnosis but are quirky in some ways: http://psychcentral.com/lib/book-review-8-keys-to-raising-the-quirky-child/[/quote]
