Thanks for your responses. I am going to go ahead and have him tested. It is already scheduled for Sept. 26. His pediatricians office put a referral into the psychiatrist and said his insurance will cover the testing because they suspect a disability. I am relieved to hear this because I definitely can't afford the test. I really don't care what his IQ is, I know he is a bright child, I just want to know if he has autism or asperger's so I can get him in the right program early. I have noticed his rigidness and temper tantrums are getting more frequent and he seems very frusterated. I am glad he has been such a rapid learner but I really just want him to be healthy and happy.
