Nah, Christy is the guru......but I am a good interpreter

RE - you can cut out about a year of head/wall/desk banging if you go straight to a Paed that specialises in Spectrum disorders. I't's been my experience (and well as a few others I've met) that anyone 'general' really doesn't have a clue. Tothe point we have been told our children are NOT on the spectrum when later (and proper) tests showed they bloody well ARE. Just like we thought.

Mrsmac - has Riley been fully assessed? I don't think you can write it off as just sensory until full testing has been done babe. I was nearly completely convinced Mitch was only sensory....until school started and then I KNEW those dorks were wrong.

Aspergers itself was only really recognised around 1994. It's not really a long time at all
