Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Carolyn (and any others with ADD-Autism),First of all realize that there is NO definite " diagnosis of ANY mental problem, and autism is perhaps the worst, because of so many symptoms present in each individual. But, this is also the case for depression and others. Diagnosing is for strictly insurance payments today, and may or may not be relevant. So, you are asking the question " how high is up " , and each " expert " will have a different answer. However, on the continuum of ADD to Autism, your grandson sounds like closer to ADD/ADHD, and that's good. Do yourself a huge favor, and go to http://drbate.com/content/integrated.shtml That is an article on " normalizing " autism using four " at home " therapies. (Autism doesn't have to be a bankruptcy disease for the family). And, if you are " new " to autism, you may want to do research at http://drbate.com/alternateTherapies.shtml That article will give you information and URL's for many different therapies (good and bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
