[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]A child who has a meltdown is autistic? I wonder how this guy relates to kids who actually are autistic? Disdain and abuse?[/quote][/b] NP - well maybe the pediatrician was seeing something the mother can't. Our pediatric visits were horrible - kid was under the examining table to avoid shots. And he turned out to have Aspergers. Our pediatrician never caught it so we got a very late diagnosis. But looking back the signs were all there. I just couldn't see them. I wish our pediatrician had been more attuned to what was going on the ADHD/Aspergers/Autism world.[/quote] Just because your child has Aspergers, does not mean this child does. Language delays have similar characteristics but those kids generally outgrow the concerns as the language comes in. Maybe ped. is taking a quick easy way out. You cannot diagnose someone with autism in 6 minutes.[/quote]
