[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, for like the fourth time in this thread, what were the other symptoms of ASD that the neurologist noted in the diagnosis report besides lack of back and forth conversation?[/quote]

she noted a delta in his iq tests (between two of them) and said he was stimming (finger posturing) during the iq test - struggling to remember others now (and dont have it to hand) but she mentioned that he lied about something very obvious to her.. [/quote]

My autistic kid used to tell the cutest lies around age 8 to 11.  They would lie about something that I could very obviously tell was not true, like that they had not eaten a cookie when the wrapper was right there in the trash.  I think they didn't want to disappoint me, or didn't want the negative consequences, but didn't quite have the skills to cover things up better.  Sadly they have learned those cover-up skills a bit better over time, but for a while I felt like the most perceptive parent in being able to catch them out.[/quote]
