[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many kids with ASD have MERLD and/or a flat affect.  Doing well in school/getting good grades and having a few friends does not rule out ASD, OP.  Get the neuropsych.  Yes, a neuropsych looks at expressive and receptive speech, comprehension, and other learning issues....

Has your DS always had a flat affect?  Do you think your DS is depressed?   What do his teachers say?  Does your DS like school?  Many kids on the spectrum get depressed and devrlope anxiety.  It’s tough being on the spectrum especially without help.

Get your kid help, OP. [/quote]

[b]Why do you assume the only diagnosis is ASD?  What is your need to have kids diagnosed with ASD?[/quote][/b]

Because flat affect and ASD usually go hand in hand.  My adult child with ASD has always had flat affect. https://www.healthline.com/health/flat-affect[/quote]

Ok, but that is your child and everyone here seems to relate needs based on their child not on the poster or facts.  Your child may be overmedicated.[/quote]
Why do you challenge PP's assumptions, then assume her child may be overmedicated?[/quote]
