[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 594161, member: 11791"] Sounds like a multi-part evaluation, then... which is at least a step in the right direction. Too much imagination for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie? (rofl...) Sorry, imagination isn't what defines kids on the spectrum. I know artists and musicians who are Aspie... and they are GOOD at what they do. (sticks tongue out at that therapist for you) Black and white thinking. Social skills problems. Challenges with transitions. Sensory and/or motor skills issues can be part of that picture. They are WIRED differently. They THINK differently. Try hunting done some bios of Aspie people (we found them in used book stores locally at under $3 each...) I found that the real-life examples told me way more than any official "Aspie" or "Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)" book ever did... at least, until we figured out what was going on (turns out I'm the Aspie... :) ) Your kid won't necessarily have the same behaviours... but you may notice the thought patterns. One good one is "Look Me In The Eye" by John Elder Robinson. Side note... how is your home with routines? i.e.... is every day different, lots of flexibility? or is bedtime "always" at 8, supper "always" at 6... etc.? Is the bed-time routine identical every single night? Aspies don't necessarily WANT routine... but they thrive on it. [/QUOTE]
