QUOTE(abubin @ Sep 20 2017, 05:25 PM) What did the specialist said on the 1st visit? first doctor said she might have mild symptoms. The most apparent is the tip toeing. And she also said it could also be GDD (global developmental delay) rather than ASD or ADHD. She recommended us a few specialist doctors to see and get referral letter for HKL since HKL has the best child development institute there and do a hearing test and a 3 hour assessment.Also, don't be too worried. Cause at 20 month, detection of ASD is usually not conclusive unless it is very severe case. Usually, it will be accurately diagnosed for kids above 5 years old. Then again, if really found out that she is having ASD symptoms, you need to start training her. The specialist should be able to advise. Another note is to always seek for second opinion. Find another doctor or specialist and have them look at her as well.  She also said dont worry so much about the diagnosis. The most important thing is to start training her aggressively and maybe send her to a day care so that she can mingle around with other kids |
