Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hello Everyone. I sent out an introduction email last week and have not had any replies. I am in a huge dilemma. I have one doctor that has diagnosed my daughter (9 1/2) with Aspergers/High Functioning Autism. That doctor sent us to see a developmental pediatrician. When we saw doctor 2 he says that he sees more ADHD, speech delay, fine motor delays, and sensory issues in my daughter. So which diagnosis is right? I do not see ADHD in her. I do see agitation, frustration, lack of others understanding her, lack of friends. very poor social interaction, huge anxiety issues. She can focus on challenging activities (math tests) for 3 hours and get a perfect score when everyone else in her class gave up an hour prior to her finishing. She can and loves to play games - you just have to follow the rules that come with the game and not make up rules or variations to the game. You have to talk with her when she is ready to listen or you are just talking to a brick wall and end up with her having a huge melt down. Please help. I dont know what to do. Thanks, (Idaho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
