PS to Re: Help me understand my five year old

P.S. -- can't recall if I said this before. Here in NC, the autism

diagnosis will get you help through " developmental disability " type

services. But it won't get " mental health " services. For mental

health services, need the ADHD or other type diagnoses added on. They

have to bill insurance with dx that fits under the service provided.

I would research your local DD services and see what is provided in

your area. Could be a waiting list, but generally services are VERY

helpful once you get in the DD program.
