[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They need an assessment for the behavioral issues. Why the heavy focus on ASD if it is behavioral? If OP says it not, then the question is what is causing the behavioral issues?[/quote] And he has a diagnosis, ADHD. Which can cause a lot of behavioral issues. Seriously, doesn't everyone know this?[/quote] OP didn't specify the behaviors. There are certain behaviors associated primarily with ADHD and certain ones primarily with ASD. There's overlap but there's got to be a reason why the teacher say she suspects autism. It could practical. She knows it's easier to get an IEP and the child needs one and he meets enough of the criteria that they could make a good argument even if he doesn't actually meet the clinical criteria, or she really suspects there is something more going on than ADHD and believes the child needs more help. Either way this is a child whose needs are not being met.[/quote]
