[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you, PPs for the kind words and support.
I circled back with the therapists and his pediatrician. With the exception of the OT, where DS made a lot of progress, the others clarified that they were surprised of his Dx because of his age, and because his symptoms seem relatively mild. His pediatrician hasn’t had any kids in his practice diagnosed this early, and neither had the EI program. No wonder, if the pediatricians don’t make referrals until after 18 months… 
I also talked with one of the psychologists from the panel that made the Dx. He’s sure DS has ASD, agrees that he has a good foundation and his symptoms aren’t severe, but still said couldn’t give me a favorable prognosis based on that alone. After a 2 hour session with him, I still pressed on about where DS is on the spectrum, and he said that, given DS's strong social skills, he would have probably been diagnosed with PDD-NOS under the old criteria.
DS is making progress already. We just started ESDM and it seems to work well for him.
