[quote=Anonymous]DP. There are specific differences in the screening and disgnostic processes; e.g., 1. difficulties in initiating social interaction, sharing affect, and using nonverbal communication are common in children with ASD but rare in children with FASD or ADHD 2. most children with ASD have a higher nonverbal than verbal IQ, but the reverse for children with FASD etc. (see table below) I suppose if you are not trained in making the diagnosis, you can confuse it as just "bad behavior," but the technical diagnosticians have fairly reliable ways of sorting them out. I mean, it isn't perfect, but there isn't that much confusion. I still don't know why "Xoxo Autism mom" claims she has reason to believe there are spurious diagnoses of ADHD or ASD because FASD is being completely mistaken as something else. I'd like to see that citation. [img]https://i.imgur.com/5UWdGpo.png[/img] [/quote]
