Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 They used something called GADS with our son but don't know if that can be used with a 5 year old. I think it is mostly orally given, so probably so. Ask docs about that one. -- ( ) evals Hi there I was wondering if anyone knows of a good test/eval to do on a four/five year old with aspergers?

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hi, They used ADOS on my son. I think the key is to try to find a psychologist or psychiatrist with experience treating kids with ASDs. They are more likely to believe in an ASD diagnosis which is neurological and not a mental illness at least thats been my experience.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hi, My geography is really poor and I am not sure where in Tenn. Memphis is. The site below is for Mid-Tennessee. They list support services and other information based on the county you are interested in. This might help. I am currently looking for another site that I used in my search for a behavior group with experience in autism in land. They had a state by state listing that was wonderful. If I find it I will post it for you. In the mean time, I hope this helps. http://autismmidtenn.org/html/localservices.php > There is no one in our city who knows anything...there are no known experts. > We live in a very strong medical community and in a city (Memphis) with over > a million people and I can only find clinicians who have seen one or two > autistic kids...weird...there is a big push by a mom here to open an autism > center...she has amazing plans but takes her kids out of state for things.
