Hi

Quote From: becca_ann2277

im looking for answers. i have a 4 year old daughter that is delayed.  She has gotten soo many different diagnosis that i still dont know which one she is.  One psychologist says shes on the low end of the spectrum for autism but yet another says shes not cuz she makes eye contact.  Ive been told that shes also got some sort of learning disability.  She is speech delayed.  She had a evaluation for kindergarden to se if she is where she was suppose to be academic wise and failed.  I was wondering how can i find out exactly what issues she has i hate not knowing what is exactly wrong . :( 
 My child was DX with Asperger Syndrom Systems{low end },in April 2006 ,When he was DX we were told he on the fine line of disability and the only sign we  ever had was the school always saying his prenting needs work and the other sign was sme social skills issues,go figure.

My son makes eye contact,has 80-90%of knowing how to interac with kids and making up games ,his doctor saying there is nothing wrong with him,but   we are going buy the other dx it what working for us .I was wondering have u got her DX for this?Where did u take her?I live in WPG/CANADA and this payed to get the test done {1600 dollars}ouch!!!!but other wise he was on a 4 year waiting list and we couldn
t wait that long not with him know being in grade3 at the time.
We went to a  Reg Psychologist .

I hope some of this helps keep m posted or email me if u like...I donot have a lot of answers but im trying my best to educate myself and help others with what I can,hehe
DEB Take care

it doesnt mater if they have eye contact or not- mine did but he didnt acknowledge u said anything and still doesnt at times- he is over sensitive to things he is 11 now i thought it got better it seems to get worse- i dont know my opinion. he was mainstreamed for school but everything social stuff out the window- walk on toes- talks too loud, wears long sleeves half way wount touch certain things, wont eat certain things wont eat unless u tell him too, will run into street- no knowledge of hazards- will touch hot stove or light bulb but brush his hair and he screams like u beat him or something. dont get me wrong he looked at everyone- but u yell james...james....nothing not a peep- i Ithought he was deaf- sent him to easter seals- every person to evaluate- test after test then - he didnt start out like that he was talking walking everything till 1 and half then silence, he sat around an d said nothign did nothing, talked with a play phone like he was chinese or something but other then that said nothing and wouldnt respond to anything u said for over a yr we had therapists come in 3 times a week then finally when he was near to 3 did he get up- and play and talk like he was in a coma  or something like nothing he put blocks together he did alot of things but was very behind so went to school to get up to his age level. Get 3 rd opinions but get some sort of help . He is 11 now. He still has issues, but talks,walks andruns and thats good enough for me- the other stuff I can deal with.
