Sorry for long title.

I'm so bloomin confused - why is everything so confusing!
Dd has had sensory sipt assessment - brief report is that she struggles to find her body in space, and mainly trouble with praxis / motor planning. Isn't this dyspraxia?
Also I asked about sensory proses sing and she said they don't diagnose and use this term here? She would not 'label' anything and said something about modulation.
Although it's a draft is is usually this confusing?

See the attached image! Children can just have dyspraxia, or it can be co morbid with other conditions in any combination - dyslexia, developmental language disorder, ADHD...Not just ASD!

Paed said that to us too. Said sensory issues is a large part of Autism, which I understand, but it is diagnosed as a separate condition frequently in the USA isn't it?

Dd has Motor and Processing delays. No formal diagnosis of Dyspraxia and ongoing assessment for ASD
