[quote=Anonymous]As a parent, trust your gut. If something feels off, testing can’t hurt if you can afford it. Either you’ll get a diagnosis and helpful recommendations or you’ll get some reassurance. It could be autism or it could be anxiety or ADHD or a combo. More information is always helpful. DD is now a young adult but when she was that age she was very sensitive and struck me as stubborn. I saw her as mildly anxious. No teacher ever expressed a concern even when I asked and she had plenty of friends. But by 4th/5th things were harder for her socially and she was became harder for me to parent. She began therapy for anxiety and in 6th grade was finally diagnosed with ADHD. I wish I had evaluated her sooner so we could have supported her better. I have two other kids with other disabilities and have learned to trust my intuition. [/quote]
