[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. One point of clarification. The reason the therapist said it would be atypical is because he makes eye contact. She knows him well and has HFA as a speciality but just raised the possibility recently. [/quote] My kid with ASD/ADHD never had issues with eye contact. His eye contact has always been normal and he certainly has ASD /Asperger's according to ADOS and neuropsych eval. Eye contact is not the "be all, end all" in diagnosing ASD. Get a neuropsych eval with ADOS/ADI-R. Frankly, I would find another therapist if yours used eye contact solely as determining "atypical".[/quote]
