Hi, a friend of mine has a little boy who was born with a cleft pallet and hair lip, he had surgery when a few days old. He's now 5 and has started school, the school seem to think he has ASD.From my point of view (parent of 2 ASD children) he shows no signs of ASD, he has great imagination, good eye contact, can handle routine change etc.., he is a little behind with speach (maybe due to the cleft), is very strong willed, cant count or write and can't sit still. Does this sound more like ADHD?
Do children born with cleft pallets and hair lips often have other problems?
