So I had my son tested back in December with the public school system because I thought he was autistic and/or gifted. He took the test, showed as "gifted" and the diagnostician said she didn't suspect him to be anywhere on the Autism spectrum.
However, I am having doubts about her evaluation... I don't know much about autism (other than what I find online). However, he does display some "not normal" behaviors: spinning, arm-flapping, gross motor skills that aren't anywhere near where they should be, flipping out about the smallest things, etc.
My question, should I have him re-evaluated next school year with another diagnostician (he'll be in a charter school in the neighboring community's public school system)? Or should I talk to his pediatrician whenever I get another appointment (no rush)?
