[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am one of the PPs who said an affectionate child could still have autism, but from your description, it doesn't sound like your child has it. It sounds like Fancy Hospital gave you an inexperienced tester who totally blew it. ADOS is not a stand alone test. It has to be combined with information from parents and other professionals who have seen the child. You could go back to them and ask for a retest with a more experienced person. I'd forget about ABA completely. It doesn't work for the problems you are describing. Doesn't matter if Early Intervention covers it, it's a waste of time. Is there a development pediatrician in your area? That would be a good person for a second opinion without having to travel. They'd also be able to track your kid's motor issues or anything else that may come up. [/quote]
