[quote=Anonymous]Someone once posted here a list of factors you should look for in the autism diagnostic process. It involved a multidisciplinary team and administration of the ADOS and other validated instruments. With something as serious and potentially misdiagnosed as autism I would absolutely make sure my kid got a second opinion and that all the tests were administered reliably. For the ADOS in particular I would try to get to a research center like the NIH to ensure the practitiiners were very well trained. That said, your child has something going on to be in this place. Focus on the therapies that address the symptoms and getting a strong team put together. When your child gets closer to 4-5 everything should be much clearer. [/quote]
