[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went for a third opinion when DS was diagnosed with ASD when he was 4. His school had a psych ed eval which diagnosed ASD/Asperger's and then we took to a well known developmental pediatrician who also diagnosed ASD. For the third opinion, we took DS to Children's for ADOS/ADI-R which also diagnosed ASD. DS is highly socially motivated without language delays and attended a dual language school from prek-5. He is 11 now the diagnosis is correct plus add in, ADHD combined type. In RL, most people never think DS has any diagnosis, he presents as NT. Get the ADOS/ADI-R if you want a second (or third) opinion.[/quote] Its very difficult to test kids who do not have speech. Kids can change greatly after the language comes in. ASD/ADHD diagnosis are very different than ASD/language diagnosis. Most schools are not well trained to do evaluations and most school psychologists are very basic at best and don't put a lot of effort in it. [/quote]
