[quote=Anonymous]Hello OP. How old is your child? I think the older s/he is, the better the accuracy of the diagnosis will be. If s/he is under 2, or under 3 years-old, your diagnosis may not be accurate and I would seek second opinion. I'm speaking from experience. Our son was diagnosed at Childrens with "provisional ASD" when he was 27 months old. When we went back for his 6-month check up, he had made so much progress that the Dr told us the diagnosis could change in the future. Our son checks many of the boxes for ASD, especially around speech and communication, but doesn't meet all the criteria. The advise from the Dr was to postpone the ADOS evaluation for a few months, probably until next Spring to see how things shift because he could have ADHD and a speed disorder, but not ASD. My advise is to have patience and trust your gut. [/quote]
