Has anyone's child been diagnosed with spd and dcd but definitely not autistic?
I feel like my child should be referred for an autism assessment but you know what it's like with a girl that's an excellent masker so school don't agree 😩
Thanks in advance

Yes DD was originally eventually diagnosed with autism, both are comorbidity to autism.
I had DS at the neurologist recently for balance and condition issues he is diagnosed with autism from the age of 3.
The Professor advised most DC with autism suffered from DCD alongside SPD.

CAHM's diagnosed by DD with ASD she was diagnosed with DCD SPD and attended CAMH'S for anxiety.
