Hi there, I stopped by last week to vent about the possibility that FD might have autism, sorry about that, I wasn't sure who else to turn to.
I can't look at FD now without noticing things that seem ASD-like to me. And now that the nurse put my suspicions into words, some family members (who work with special needs kids) are coming out and saying that they've wondered about ASD as well.
We are lucky that since she is in foster care we have access to a lot of specialists and she will have court ordered therapy if she is diagnosed. I also have my family members (a preschool SN teacher and a middle school computer lab supervisor who works with SN kids) and a friend who does in-home therapy for ASD but I'm having a hard time going to them right now because she hasn't been diagnosed.
I've been trying to find more info on ASD but what I've read doesn't seem like enough. Can you share some good autism websites with me?
