It is very interesting listening to your comments and thanks for being so honest, it must be very difficult trying to organise all three of you! It is hard enough for me to do one! I wasn't given a label, so I have no idea but according to this I should imagine high functioning as she can talk and have a conversation, she just often chooses not to, or it has to be on her terms!
The tone didn't bother me really, it just came accross that she had faced alot of people judging her child, it was obviously America and she was clearly frustrated at having to 'prove' her child was Autistic.
Can I ask, how long did it take for your children to be excellent at their chosen subjects? My daughter has potential, she is brilliant at reading and spellings, but in all other areas hasn't a clue. It is not that I want her to be amazing at these, it is just I am hoping things will become easier for her and she will grasp this type of information. I am so worried about high school. Of course I want her to achieve academically, but only at what she is capable of, nothing more. She is 8 now.
