pp here and realize my question was very badly worded my mind is a bit jumbled right now. But now that you've confirmed she has ADHD - I guess I am just very confused because ADHD can also come with a lot of those small (or large) immaturities that you describe in social interaction and the emotional sensitivity is extremely common, so I'm so curious how the evaluator (or plural) distinguished between those symptoms being a part of her adhd rather than a separate diagnosis since she doesn't have the more classic symptoms of asd.

I am not questioning the diagnosis, just trying to understand for my own son with adhd because you could have easily been describing him but ASD has been ruled out multiple times and I have generally agreed with this. And I think this is where op is struggling, how do you know it isn't just the adhd causing some social skill deficits and low distress tolerance? (not how do YOU know, but how does one hypothetically know :))[/quote]
