Is HF determined by how verbal a child is or how social?
Eg:
Child 1 (Lets say they are both 3 yo)
Speaks in 1 or 2 word sentences, has expressive and receptive lang delays but is very sociable, plays well with other kids, has good eye contact with people he knows, no sensory issues and can read people's emotions.
Child 2
No speech delay, speaking may even be above average. Has sensory issues, does not do well in social gathering, has poor interaction, rigid routine.
Which one of these children would be classified as HFA?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
