[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I was going to start another thread, per 01/13/2014 09:47 PP’s recommendation, but never got around to it. I’ll post updates here, because I found helpful in my research to find updates to posts similar to mine. 01/29/2014 21:58, it may be nothing, but based on my experience so far, I would not wait for the evaluation. I found that many pediatricians are misinformed when it comes to autism, for instance, and wait too long for a referral. It took us two months from scheduling the evaluation to starting the therapy. I’ll post in the following two posts updates regarding second evaluation and therapy; and next steps. I beg anyone who’s been through this before and has any advice in how to navigate the system to post. TIA![/quote]

OP, it's 1/29/2014 21:58 here.  Thank you so much for your updates.  We're a few months behind your DC in age (DS was 13 months yesterday), but I see a lot of similarities.  I think DS is probably on-target or close to it as far as motor skills are concerned... but on most everything else I think he's lagging. I wonder sometimes if I'm nuts because I'm the only one who seems to see it; DH and everyone else keep brushing off my concerns.  We saw DS's Ped again at 12.5 months for an illness, and I asked her then about an evaluation sooner than 15 months, but she said she wouldn't refer until 15 months as "there is nothing they'll do before then".  I'm getting frustrated, but feel like I don't have much choice but to wait another 2 months.

Anyway, I appreciate your updates, and will be following along.  [/quote]
