[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 504205"] Welcome Soc! You have found the right place and it seems you are on the right track. Do exactly as Buddy says....and I mean exactly. Take the June appointment with the neuropsychologist. If they're booked out that far it "usually" means they are good. I scheduled ours in May and we were given the soonest appointment the day before Thanksgiving but I know the one we saw has a reputation as being one of the best in the area. I found it was worth the wait. Lovelyboy has some great questions about the play. Is it TRULY imaginative or could it be things he has seen somewhere before that he's imitating? A thorough neuropsychologist, Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), and school special education evaluations are crucial. He is so young there is a LOT of hope. I would also question the ADHD medications if it does turn out to be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Do the Daytrana and Clonidine seem to be helping...really, noticably helping? Many kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) do not do well with ADHD medications. If the behavior isn't improving much or at all with the medications, that will tell you something. I am glad you found us. The wise parents here have saved my sanity and my son (almost literally). Stick around. You'll be amazed!!! [/QUOTE]
