My 5-year-old daughter was just diagnosed with ASD. I was beyond skeptical through the entire process -- until I started seeing what they were seeing. If you go back and watch videos of her when she was younger you see it then, too. She's an incredible kid, intelligent, curious, goofy. I am still not sure I've really accepted it, but the help she's getting is really helping her. Unless you're a psychologist I don't think you should be "convinced". Get a second opinion if you don't believe it. Don't let your pride get in the way of teaching your son the _healthy_ coping mechanisms he might need. I'd say everything else you just said describes us as well (stress, parental mental illness, etc), but I can't attribute her behavior to those things. That's just how she's always been, and there's nothing wrong with that. |
