Oh, I know how you feel. I had a school psychologist tell me last year there was no way on earth my son was on the spectrum (autism) because he self-reported many friends and made great eye contact! All his teachers and the principal and administration all went wide-eyed at that assertion. A few months later his diagnosis - PDD-NOS.
This year the spec. ed. coordinator keeps insisting the teachers aren't reporting any issues with DS! Meanwhile, he routinely has to excuse himself to sit in the hall to avoid meltdowns in class, slapped another child in the face a week ago, and has probably somewhere around 3-4 dozen zero's on the books due to simply forgetting work or misplacing. Yup, he's 100% on the ball, let's just all go home and forget about it!
