Can someone clarify something for me?
I saw on other threads that HFA is ASD without language impairment.
AS is ASD without language impairment at age 3?
Is that so?
Say DD2, who is being seen in January, is dx'd with ASD, but it's taken until she's 5 for us to be sure there is something not quite right and she most likely has some disordering of language...what would that be?
Would she be likely to be classed as HFA because in many areas she can pass for NT to the untrained eye? Or would she be classed as ASD but mild, because she has language disordering? I'm all
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
ASD - mild, moderate, severe, Classic, HFA, AS...
