We are in the same place with my daughter, who is 10. Based on a couple of behavioural characteristics they have suggested that she be evaluated for Aspergers. While I see the similarities, I believe it is more about OEs than an ASD. I am going to ask our pediatrian about an evaluation to rule it out, or in, as the case may be in a few weeks. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at age 6, and that diagnosis I am fairly certain is accurate as her executive functioning is really poor. And ADHD runs in our family. So I think that OEs combined with an accurate ADHD diagnosis is correct.
Thanks for posting this, it's been helpful to see this post, as well as others about Aspergers to help clarify the issue and how I perceive it. Will you pursue a second evaulation for ASD?
