[quote=Anonymous]I know it's exhausting. Over the years, I didn't think it was autism, but I kept expecting that diagnosis. We knew about speech and motor issues early on. Did therapy (and continue). The ADHD was the next diagnosis and didn't come as a surprise. Have added in more social support and (now meds b/c school was becoming impossible). I've met so many kids both girls and boys with autism and not on the spectrum the years at therapy, at school, at social skill groups. Truly the kids are individuals. I do see commonalities with my kid--like anxiety, sometimes quick to over-react, sometimes rigid, the difficulty with executive functions or in socializing. I just wanted to mention that DCD can make a kid seem a little out of sync with peers b/c it affects processing and reaction speeds. If you do get a neuropsychological evaluation, make sure the person has experience with this b/c it can affect testing. GL[/quote]
