Are there any signs, right now, that make you think he would receive an ASD diagnosis if tested by someone else?[/quote]

This is the OP. He's still working on typical language - he can have back and forth conversations now but not to the level of typical kids - his sentences are shorter, words are sometimes in the wrong order, it may take him a little bit longer to respond to a question or get a sentence out. Otherwise, he shows interest in peers, engages in imaginative play with peers (getting more and more complex as he gets more language), responds when someone talks to him and makes eye contact, etc.

For the repetitive/restrictive behaviors, he will jump up and down when he's very excited. Otherwise, he's never had a fixation on just one topic and his rigidity is almost gone. One of his therapists actually said in our last meeting that she thought his flexibility was one of his strengths.

Sensory-wise he seems to be a super taster. We tried to hide his medicine in things and even my husband couldn't taste it but somehow my son could.

The way he talks does sound the way some kids with autism speak.[/quote]
