My dd Speech and language therapist told me yesterday this is what my dd is diagnosed with. Previously it was described as Semantic Pragmatic language disorder. I read an excellent article by Margo Sharp called Understanding language (sorry l don't know how to link it) but this article described my dd to a tee. I definately think she dips her toe in the Asd specrum. Like the experiences of some of the mums here. She is the perfect child at school and then explodes when she comes home. She has also been diagnosed with Dyspraxia and SPD. I have been told by an OT she has autistic traits and the private Slt thinks she is definately on the spectrum. She is receiving ongoing slt and ot. She is very passive and struggles socially. I would be really interested to hear your experiences of this condition. She is nearly 9. Her brother has an SLI and was diagnosed with dyspraxia this week. He is 5. The OT used an assessment tool called the sensory integration praxis test. My dd was assessed 4 years ago using the movement ABC. Has anyone any experience of this test? he definately has dyspraxia. Im not questioning the results.
Thanks
