[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine didn't talk until he was 4.  Combo of developmental delay and a tongue tie.  School system wanted to label him eligible under Autism even though Dev Ped. still adamantly says no, even after 5 years.

Once his language started catching up, a lot of the social emotional problems improved or resolved because he could understand what we wanted and also express how he was feeling.

Also, labels/diagnoses are not supposed to drive services.  Mine still did self contained enhanced autism until this year so he could get more intensive services.[/quote]

You are more talking about expressive language, not receptive.[/quote]

There were, and still are, receptive issues as well.  For example, he's working on answering reading comprehension questions along with answering opinion questions like "would you rather".  They would have been there regardless of the tongue tie.  Difference now is that he can say "I don't know, I need help".

The odd combo of issues sure did point to ASD when he was 2-3 years old, but it turned out not to be the case.  Whenever I hear of some saying that their child outgrew ASD, I often wonder if there are more kids out there like mine and were misdiagnosed early on.  I don't have an opinion of if one can outgrow ASD, but it does seem like some many conditions overlap.  It's confusing for parents just trying to get appropriate early intervention.  [/quote]
