[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're fine, OP. My son has autism level 1 and ADHD, and I did not report any of it to short-term camp situations or weekend activities because there was no need - even though he had an IEP and was medicated so he could focus sufficiently during long hours at school. Everyone could see he was a daydreaming, quiet, inattentive sort of person right off the bat. No tantrums or emotional disturbances.

I did always report his anaphylactic allergy to nuts, and brought his Epipen.[/quote]

So basically does not meet the clinical criteria of autism. Ok. [/quote]

PP you replied to. He was formally diagnosed at Stixrud, but as I said, level 1: he stims at home and is able to act relatively normal at camp; he's asocial, but he's courteous and does not lose his temper easily. That sort of thing. His IEP is mainly for the low processing speed that comes with some types of inattentive ADHD. Everyone can tell he's quirky, but not in a way that necessitates disclosure of each one of his diagnoses.

And now, he's 20 and is the camp counselor, for a STEM camp! :-)

I don't know why you need to be so rude about this. This is a spectrum, by definition. It means that not all kids on the spectrum will act the same way.[/quote]
