Not a critique of your explanation Lulu, that's the diagnostic criteria to a tee. But just wanted to add (in a venty kind of way), why, oh why is there still never any mention of sensory issues??!!

Sorry. Diagnosing a gorgeous Aspy kiddle at work at the moment and sure, he's just on the spectrum but the sensory issues are driving the poor love to distraction and the pead will not recognise that it's part and parcel. Just my little professional vent. As you were!
