Aspergers-High Functioning Autism-Hyperplexia

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any first hand experience with this? It seems many of

the " Pros " out there separate these into three separate catergories.

Many of them think Hyperplexia may not be " on the spectrum " at all.

The research I've done is a bit....conflicting. Many children with

hyperplexia have been misdiagnosed with Aspergers first. I realize the

earlier we start intervention the better. I have no problem with

getting them that. Could we be jumping the gun and labeling some of

these children too early? Should we be waiting until some time has

passed with some therapies in place first?...or is this a catch 22...no

diagnosis...no therapy...no money into the programs etc? What's best

for the children? Any info would be a great help.

Thanks
