[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of testing has she had?  What kind of specialists have you taken her to?

She had a major major neuo-eval and they said she is not quite on the spectrum. The problem is that they don't see/experience what I do. For me it's like living with a robot. Everyf.......thing she does is without emotion. I really don't know what to do anymore.[/quote]

Saying she is not quite on the spectrum is not the same as saying she is just fine.

Some very bright kids with mild spectrum disorders may not be diagnosed until around the end of elementary school - before that they are able to compensate for their weaknesses well enough to function, if not to function well. You might want to re-evaluate in a couple of years. In the meantime, you can still address her issues with social skills groups, speech/language therapy that focuses on pragmatics, and/or psychotherapy. You don't need to wait for a formal diagnosis, if you are this concerned, and if she does have an ASD you are doing her a service by starting intervention now.[/quote]
