Hey

I’m a newbie, so I don’t know as

much as others, BUT I say stick to your guns and at the VERY LEAST, participate

in groups like this where you CAN relate!

My son will only be 7 next week, and his

current diagnosis is only ADHD, OCD & Anxiety. Nevertheless, I strongly feel

that he has Aspergers, even though the school psych and dev ped said he ONLY tested

for “at risk” and “significant traits.”

While the medical diagnosis on paper

usually gets us a lot farther, we as moms know our kids best. In my case, my

son’s issues definitely fit this category best.

Curious to hear what others will say!

You’ve got a friend in me! I am so grateful

for this server!

I agree. My ds is 13 and only just had his dx of AS in

Dec, o8. In May 08, a neuropsych gave us a loose dx, of traits of

NLD, OCD and anxiety, not AS. He has had problems all thru

elementary, we visited OT's, psychologists, drs, had him tested

for " giftedness " , no one ever suggested AS! I think if your son fits

even part of the AS profile, you will benefit from the wisdom and

experience of this site. You may find useful strategies.

Hi , if you feel he still has some of the traits, I'd stick around

anyway. There may be things you might approach differently - whether

a behavior is from ADHD or anxiety.... But many here also have kids

with other dx, including ADHD, etc. My son also has OCD, which falls

under anxiety disorders.

Plus, if you disagree, go with your gut!

Yup, that was instinctively my reaction as well when, despite,

diagnosis not containing the term, 'ASD', that if you mention that it

has been helpful to be here, why not stick around?

My son was also said not to have an ASD, but yet, he has symptoms of

it and our pediatrician describes him as " Aspergers-like " . The team

evaluating my son was rather divided, but came back with non-ASD due

primarily to his wanting to be social (that's not to say he does it

well!) I believe it is a very subjective thing to diagnose and so who

is to say that another physician might not go ahead and say, 'yup, an

ASD'.

If the strategies for helping children with an ASD are helping, then

stick with it. Continue on whether or not a diagnosis fits at this

time. ASD is such a spectrum of grey where many feel that even ADHD

belongs to the classification!

Good-luck! : )

,

you are welcome to hang out here anyway. We have a lot of people here who struggle with kids who have adhd, anxiety and impulsivity.

RoxannaYou're UniqueJust like everyone else...

:

Like others have said - feel free to stick around if you want to. Many times

the diagnosis

can change over the years.

What's more important is that you are welcome here and find support here - no

matter

what the diagnosis, if this group is helping you, stick around.

Take care,

Janna

We had to take my son to several doctors before we found the true dx which was Aspergers, don't put your faith in one doctor, some don't know as much as they should. pj
