Hmm. Interesting. My earlier post disappeared.

Scientific research has found that joint attention skills and the ability to read nonverbal cues separate non ASD from ASD. [/quote]

You keep posting this.  Do you have a kid who was diagnosed with ASD?  I'm guessing not since if you did, you would know it's more subtle than that.

It's not like when you take your kid in for an evaluation, they check off "joint attention" and " ability to read nonverbal cues" as the criteria for diagnosing ASD or ruling it out.

I have a kid with ASD/Asperger's and he never had issues with joint attention and his ability to read nonverbal cues have improved greatly to the point that it's not much of an issue at this point.  So according to your criteria, he is "cured" which he certainly is not.[/quote]

I've read the research as I have a child with MERLD. At at young ages, it's the joint attention and nonverbal cues that are the major indicators that differentiate ASD from non ASD.

You'd do yourself a favor by citing links to what you keep repeating, otherwise it sounds like you are just convincing yourself that your child does not have autism. Also, there is a LOT more that should go into an autism diagnosis. [/quote]
