Hope you don't mind me ducking in here... we had an initial speech pathologist appointment today and she suspects our son is on the spectrum. I had had my suspicions but as he makes eye contact, smiles etc I thought it mustn't be. But she explained how the spectrum is made up of different areas. He has a pretty severe social communication delay so we need to follow up with a pediatrician next to see if we can get a diagnosis, then more speech therapy.

Anyway, I had some questions...

- Has anyone used the book "More Than Words" to help with social communication? What did you think?

- I had booked a hearing test for next week but my son doesn't respond to 'games' etc and wouldn't do any of the speech pathologist's things... so maybe a hearing test would just be inconclusive & a wasteof money? Anyone done one with an ASD child? How did it go?

Thank you!
