freya, thats disappointing.

We were told by one paediatrician after being in his office for 5 minutes that M was not ASD because, she looked her dad in his eyes and engaged in play.

Ummmm WT? He totally wrote us off and told us it was due to bad parenting... seriously...

Matilda loves jokes of one nature, she doesn't get others... the ones that are more sarcastic and illogical she doesn't get, very black and white on "some" jokes, but she loves telling jokes to other kids, and she socialises well at school. I mean she builds cubbies wiht other kids and plays games fine, just no imaginative play for her. But she does cope with that anyway... She has no learning disabilities. She is going grade 2 maths in grade 1, and is reading at the same level as everyone else.

So really, she wouldn't be ASD if going by that evaluation Freya...

clover - the list is daunting isn't it? I suggest going by what if affecting everyday life the most? Is it the SPD symptoms? Go to OT first.... etc etc.... our were SPD symptoms and we started there and started getting awesome results before we got through waiting lists.
