Ds definately has sensory issues. He has been seeing OT weekly since October 2008 and she suspects he has Sensory Modulation Disorder and that ds is gifted (apparently gifted kids are often over responsive).
We have also been seeing comm Paed for the last 2 years (4 visits) but we have never seen the same PAED twice. He was tested for autism about a year ago and ruled out.
We went to visit senior Paed last week (1st time we have seen her) and she is disagreeing with OT's DX. She suspects he has autism and referred for him to be tested again.
My ds's behaviour in general is that he is compliant, kind, helpful, very polite, he has an extremely high attention span. What are the behavioural signs of ASD?
I dont really care whether ds is gifted, as im sure this will become more apparent as he gets older, but i dont want him to be misdisagnosed because of it.
What do you think?
