[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 23504, member: 3199"] Welcome, I started get difficult child 2 diagnosis with my peditrician. (Who told me there is no way difficult child 2 is on the autism spectrum.) He refered me to early intervention. They set up some interventions. Then I contacted the autism specialist for the county Mental Health services. Because I felt the early intervention just wasn't getting to the root of the problem. She isn't going to give him a formal test until 30 months because of the language growth between 27 and 30 months. She did start seeing him once a week because if he is autistic the earlier interventions start the better. After going once a week for at least a month she told me he is autistic. We're still going to have the formal testing done at 30 months. After we started going to the autism specialist the early intervention people agreed to put difficult child 2 into social skills classes (formal and informal) and he is on a waiting list for an autism preschool. difficult child 2 has made some wonderful progress. His head banging has stopped and he has started talking. Actually, its a very pained one word yell of what he wants, but its alot better than the screaming. He does still scream sometimes because I just can't mind read. After the autism specialist formal test I was thinking of going to a developmental pediatrican. But I'm wondering if it might be overkill. As long as difficult child 2 is getting the help he needs I'm happy. Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
