[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would make an appointment for an evaluation but I would start here:

For ADOS/ADI-R testing rather than going to a developmental pediatrician first.  ADOS\ADI-R is the current gold standard for diagnosing ASD/Asperger's.

Good luck!

My DS is turning 9 and was diagnosed with Asperger's when he was 4 and doing great.  You want to get him supports/services and an IEP ASAP.[/quote]

I should add that we saw a developmental pediatrician first and also had a psychoeducational eval done around the same time as the ADOS/ADI-R and then a full Neuropsych eval when DS was 7 which all diagnosed Asperger's/ASD.

Will definitely recommend doing ADOS/ADI-R first to diagnose or rule out autism.

My DS has Asperger's/ADHD and is very high functioning.  Most people never guess he has any diagnosis at all.  I would be leery of a dev ped diagnosing or ruling out ASD with only a short office visit.  [/quote]
