Question about Asperger's Syndrome
Is there anyone out there who has had a child diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome? I am concerned that my daughter who was disgnosed ADHD may have been incorrectly diagnosed - I read that many cases are misdiagnosed at first. My daughter had some speech delays, reading delays, etc - plus the "hyperactivity". She also has social problems - she is very immature for her age, has blurted out very inappropriate things, can not seem to look anyone in the face when speaking to them, "rocks" while sitting, "weaves" back and forth while standing, seems to have very little empathy for others, no volume control over her voice (she is LOUD ALL the time), and seem to have physical problems running. Do any of these sound like symptoms of Asperger's? I just want to be sure that my daughter is getting the schooling/therapy that she needs as our public schools do not consider ADHD a qualifier for special education and she is getting further and further behind in school. If anyone has any info please let me know!!
