She said: I hope this is validating to you--this is a tricky case. Sometimes I see kids who I immediately know are Asperger-ish, and think HOW WAS THIS MISSED?
She thinks DS is very oblivious socially and emotionally, and that he may be using avoidance.
She said she doesn't think NLD bc his verbal and perceptual are pretty even, strong visual spatial.
She said she needs to analyze her data before she can dx.
She also relayed some of the things the teachers shared and it was, frankly, awful. She said she was told that "something has to change" if he is to continue with the program, but the language is unclear about what it is that has to change. She attributed that to it being social skills, and nobody understanding it.
She said she'd try to get a report and dx, with recommendations, to me by the end of next week.
Ugh.
