Hi all DD diagnosed with ASD also is very VERY behind in writing. She will write some maths answers at school and type a bit but pretty much everything is scribed. For a while I have thought it is 'just' dysgraphia but more recently I have been worried about her reading as well - she seems to about average but never reads at home (I am not forcing her because of the ASD) and her spelling is abysmal. She was slow to learn to read but not super slow IYSWIM. She was recently diagnosed with convergence insufficiency which we are following up but generally I am wondering about dyslexia as well - wondering if I am missing the obvious?
