Asperger's no longer exists so this whole argument seems futile but my DS with Asperger's spoke early.  Language has always been a strength.  In fact, his ADHD caused more issues (prior to the ADHD being diagnosed and treated) than the Asperger's ever did.

But OP, you first need to find out what is going on before you can get the help.  Good luck![/quote]

Wanted to add that DS attends a language immersion charter and he is not the only kid with ASD there.  All the kids with ASD in our grade were all diagnosed once they started school and the parents had no idea that their child was on the spectrum.  Entrance yrs are prek3/4 but was prek4 when this class started.[/quote]

This is a bit off topic but how do you know this? We attend the same school as you and I do nor know any other SN parents, as everything is confidential and there are no self contained classrooms etc (unless you count the 4th / 5th class...not technically SN.) [/quote]

I know the other SN kids in our class and their parents (not just the ASD kids but the ADHD kids too - these seem to be the two main types of SN at the school).  Our kids are friends or at least get along since they've known each other and been in the same group therapy sessions (speech, social skills, etc) since prek.  We get together with some of them for play dates, holidays, birthday parties, etc.  The kids themselves are aware exactly which kids get pull outs (not in a mean way or anything like that, it just "is").
