Tyler went to a joint assessment clinic with speech and language therepist, child psychologist and a paedeatrician ... he got his diagnosis there and then. You should push for joint assessment clinic they really know their stuff. good luck xx

Hand flapping?? Where? I don't get it. Looks normal to me.

My daughter did this too, same expressions too. I first noticed at age 1 and thought it was just out of excitement, but she was diagnosed with hand flapping and posturing and sensory defensiveness at age three. the movements continues til about age ten, she was also fascinated with spinning objects and lining up stuff. She is now 13 and does none of those things. She is as always has been very bright. So here is my point, this can be a sign of further issues , or maybe the worse it will get.

my son who's laos 4 does this to, he has been undergoing ASD tests for about a year. However, we keep hitting a brick wall with his statement. It's the hardest thing to prove in a child iI am told as there are so many varying degrees, but going forward his education and development is worrying me, I fear without the statement we won't get the help he's certainly going to need, i don't want him labeled the naughty kid and put to the back of the class.
