[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get him an evaluation at Children's Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders:

http://childrensnational.org/departments/center-for-autism-spectrum-disorderscasd

Specifically for ADOS/ADI-R, which is considered the gold standard for diagnosing ASDs.

Your son sounds a lot like my son who was diagnosed with Aspergers's when he was 4.  At this age, it isn't so much the social communication issues (parallel play is still considered OK) but the repetitive behaviors and obsessive interests that got DS diagnosed with ASD.

DS is 8 now and was also diagnosed with ADHD, combined type, at 7 through a full neuropsych eval but the ASD/Asperger's type diagnosis at 4 was spot on.

Good luck![/quote]

Interesting that no one else agrees with you. But here you are, suggesting ASD, as you do for 90 percent of children with any issues.[/quote]

I gave my opinion and recommendation.  Did not realize OP was taking a poll for a diagnosis by describing her son's symptoms on the Internet from people who never met her son.[/quote]

She just had an evaluation 8 months ago. Most 3 year olds have similar tendancies -- they aren't autism related. Not even the teachers are concerned![/quote]

But OP is still concerned.  So I recommend ADOS/ADI-R which by the time she gets the appointment, it will be longer than 8 months.

Also, the avg age for diagnosing Asperger's is 7.  Most don't get catch early but early intervention is best.[/quote]

Child is social and teachers are unconcerned. This child is not like your child. [/quote]
