DeeDee-our evaluator said she did not see glaringly obvious signs of AS, autism, even the ADHD, she's not completely convinced it's ADHD, but possibly learned dysfunctional coping skills, so we will revist the ADHD issue soon...we are being called for a consult with developmental behavior, so, maybe...
I did ask her about some of these issues today. She said specifically that she does feel confused sometimes when she is told to finish one project, then it seems that suddenly they are told to pick up, etc. I know part of this is her own perrfectionism...say we are making cards, the other kids her age draw a simple flower or heart and take 10 minutes. She would spend an hour, if allowed, with fancy embellishments, etc. I am pretty good about giving the kids plenty of transisiton time, but not everyone is me, right? lol!
She also does some other "odd" stuff...like lately she plucks a hair from her hair and tries to floss her teeth with it (ick) or tap dances around (she doesn't take tap lessons). She fidgets less than before, but she's also not confined to a seat in a classroom like before...
*sigh* again, lol!
