[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social pragmatic communication disorder+Mixed Expressive Receptive Language Delay+[u]Restrictive/Repetitive Actions [/u]= Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD)

My son doesn't have [u]Restrictive/Repetitive Actions [/u] , but DP still gave ASD!!! Should I get a second opinion?

[/quote]

Did you ask the DP what he was thinking about for restrictive/repetitive actions? I had that conversation with the psychologist who diagnosed my child, and it was really illuminating.[/quote]

DPs can pick up signs more readily than parents.  They also use more than one screener to diagnose.

Treat the symptoms for now.  Go for a second opinion in a year.  Things often become more clear.  Having social pragmatics communication disorder is no walk in the park either.  You'll be glad for the insurance coverage if in a year it's "just" this.  (It probably won't be though--your kid's more at risk for ADHD and language based learning disabilities.  Save the money for the future.)[/quote]
