Dbat~
I'm getting this book asap! Thanks!!
My DS6 is at that border and was Dx shortly before 3 b/c of presenting s/sx (aut), and I was told this was a good thing b/c DS qualified for therapy- which he needed for speech, & for fine motor.
but then 2mos later the school Psych didn't agree that he had Dx
at all, she thought if anything he was gifted, but gave Dx again so he could receive the obviously needed speech...
On another thread someone said they can lose their Dx but that the "stigma" stays with them-- how others view them etc.
Currently I have had problems with DS teacher who claims to not have known he was autistic, and now realizing he has that Dx, she seems to think he couldn't possibly be gifted and needs to be in special ed. That's a long story, but the ending for that is, DS has a new teacher starting next wk.
Thanks again for book title.
