[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for taking the time out of your day to post these stories and give or advice. I really hope I come across as appreciative because I really am. My husband and I have read these many times and are going to put him on some evaluation wait lists now just in case. We can always cancel I imagine if we suddenly change our minds.  The school has been amazing with us and I doubt they'll change their tune, but as many posters pointed out, you don't know what might happen. I'm still not convinced that he has anything. I think I should just straight up say that I've always been the person who has asked teachers and staff whether they think he has ASD.  Since the Bayley was inconclusive, I've always been on high alert and asked his teacher to see if she sees any red flags. She suggested testing in a relaxed rule-it-out way, not "holy frap you need to address this now". They're totally fine waiting for an eval. The former speech therapist does not think he has it either. He's just gotten so much better and improved his quirks so much that I just don't have the same level of concern that I did even six months ago. Of course I'm taking it day by day and realize he might take a drastic downturn at any time. I just feel bad for the little guy since I know he hates the testing process!

Thanks again

I have a quirky kid too and I saw a huge change in him between 3.5 and 4 in terms of maturity and social interactions. I also have a dev ped appt for September for "just in case." So you are not alone. It's great that the school is supportive. If the teacher and professionals have not expressed much concern at this time, that is an important piece of evidence. [/quote]
