[quote=Anonymous]^^ this is what I wrote originally: " kids with ASD are not "social and affectionate' in the same way NT kids are. Social deficits are core ASD deficits. You can't get an ASD diagnosis without serious impairment in that area. So, if OP is observing that her child has similar social skills as her twin, then that's pretty important evidence to consider." ASD is not hidden: the social deficits are apparent! There would be something obviously different in social interactions; otherwise the child would never even be screened. Whether those differences are due to ASD or a different issue (language delay, hearing loss, anxiety, ADHD) is a different question. [/quote]
