Passthepotatoes,

I agree with everything you have said. My gifted/AS son's very real issues were repeatedly dismissed by professionals who focused on his intellect and failed to take the delays in other areas seriously. Finding people who have experience dealing with 2e is really the best approach, if it is at all possible. We had expressed concerns about my son to medical professionals from the time that he was 2 1/2, and it was three years before anyone took us seriously.
