[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG,  where did I say "children can appear socially typical and have autism"?  You are insane.  I accept my child's AS/ASD b/c I have seen him in a classroom where he is far from "socially typical" unlike at home where he does seem NT.

It's my biggest regret that I wasn't aware he had issues (and did not get interventions earlier) and had to find out when he started school - his first time in a group setting with same age peers - getting notes from the teacher everyday about behaviors...  I had no clue...   I know for a fact this is the way many parents with high functioning AS kids find out about their child's issues.  I've met quite a few moms at my child's various therapies who found out the same exact way.

So yes, I'm trying to help.  Yes, you can have a seemingly "normal" child at home who later turns out has Asperger's.

Also, I have relatives who have refused to get their children evaluated when their kid's school requested it.  Young kids who don't have a dx or a ruled out dx b/c their parents refused to get them evaluated.  And a older teen who's parents refused until he was a teen - missing out on any help.

Again, many special needs kids of all types lag behind typical social  behavior in the classroom. That's no indicator in itself of an ASD. [/quote]
