[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess my question is, even if this person’s daughter is diagnosed with autism, what should she do then? How does this help the child at this stage in her life? [/quote]

When my DS was in 5th grade, other kids were repelled by him. His teacher was repelled by him. He started to make suicide attempts.

When we discovered and he understood that he is autistic,  and that he has trouble understanding social cues but can learn them, he felt much better.
It is a pretty unpleasant to be trapped in a confusing hell of having people dislike you without understanding why. You may even start to think you are simply repulsive.

Oh, and there are help and services available to autistic children and adults. Help you will not get without a diagnosis.

PP, this is just heartbreaking. I’m so glad to know that your DS is doing well now. You must be one terrific advocate. He is lucky to have you. [/quote]
