yeah, there are times when I feel like me 2.5 year old just wants to tell everyone "your level of intelligence is clearly lower then mine so why would I bother talking to you or doing what you're asking of me?" ...thankfully he's still speech delayed and can't them to back off yet
... he's giving them "redflags" like "can't sort objects by color into groups" or "can't stack blocks by size" but the fact that he took the objects one by one telling them what color each one was ... or the fact that he'd take the blocks and not stack them from largest to smallest but instead went from smallest to the largest while turning each by 90degrees (kinda hard to explain! lol) ... so, there are clearly these kids that don't fit in the average category and suddenly it's all about raising the Autism redflag!
Weird how it works though ... DS4, the "professionals" have been telling us he does NOT have autism, it's just Sensory Processing Disorder and I've been fighting them for the last 2 years and just recently got Asperger's as the most likely diagnosis. with DS2.5, they've been telling us he probably is on the spectrum ... and I'm fighting them once again telling them just the opposite! He's not "withdrawn" ... he's NOT INTERESTED! there's a huge difference!
