4 yr old daughter- social communication disorder?

Hi,

My 4 1/2 yr old daughter is undergoing assesment at the moment. She has just had her first pediatric appointment and we have recieved a letter sumerising what is happening.

She definately has problems and has also been diagnosed with hypermobility and is being refered to a physio. They also are going to do blood tests for 'fragile X chromosomes'

In the letter they refer to a possible 'social communication disorder'??? Are they talking about ASD/Autism or not? They want her to go for full assesment.

Anyone who can give me any further info on any of these would be great.

Thank you,

  • Social communication disorder is just an new AMERICAN STATISTIC RECLASSIFICATION insurance scam, it is for private insurance limiting of risk and thus payouts. As Autism has been now highlighted in 1 in 55 in male children.

    So when I read this posts using the Social communication disorder LABEL,, it is the usual america lead policy in the UK. IT IS UNDERMINE THE CONDITION into a new categories as the Autism one is full(the stats are too high).

    So what we have here is different AUTISM categories forming, scientists are being to indicate that there is 4 different forms of Autism. I can believe this as the PR Autism is on the extreme.

    BASICALLY THE DOCTORS AND ASSESSORS ARE GETTING TOLD TO SAY IT IS SOCIAL COMMUNICATION DISORDER.

    What happened to the NAS special interest lobby ? Well that is want happens if you are the governments agency.

    Watch this space, we are going to see a long more of this classification so that RESOURCES ARE CUT TOO AUTISM SUPPORT NETWORKS.

    THEY ARE JUST PLAYING WITH TITLES !!!!!!!!!! IT IS AUTISM, not aspergers or social communication disorder. This is just a way of bottlenecking using LEVELs  and thus filtering by slowing down the resources allocation. ATOS of Autism.

    Look I AM COMMUNICATING ! my dis to the order.

    THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS SATANIC RUN BY DEMONS TREATING PEOPLE LIKE A HERD OF OWNED CATTLE.

     

     

  • I'm not sure why she puts her hands over her ears... I used to think she had hypersensitive hearing, because even as a tiny baby she got hysterical in places that had a noise level louder than a whisper! And now she says to us its because 'its too noisy'  but she's also regularly making enough noise herself to give me a headache so I dont think it can be that.  I think she just wants to shut out the busyness of people around her, that she finds all the moving and the chatter and everything too much to process - it is very awkward walking down the street in town when  I can't hold her hand as she has them clamped firmly over her ears!

  • hi leppie - I read your post + my heart goes out to you + your daughter. I understand why it breaks your heart.  There have been times when I've felt like that, altho my son is different from your daughter.   It must be so difficult, day to day.  I really hope the assessment will help.  If you feel it doesn't or isn't detailed enough then I think you're wise enough to press that point so you can hopefully get the support you need to help your daughter.  Do you know why she puts her hands over her ears?  I hope things improve. bw

  • My daughter is being assessed for social communication disorder, she had her first appointment with paediatrician in May and we're still waiting for final assessment...! I believe it to be 'an aspect of' aspergers/autism, one of 3 parts of it.  I think my daughter also has the other characteristics of autism, but not severly, they don't affect her life, whereas the social communication problems do. I think of it as being 'beyond shy' she wants to play with other children, she wants to be part of what is going on around her, but she seems to be so terrified of getting it wrong or something that she is paralysed and can't so much as look at them. Her speech is very advanced - she was using 9 word sentences when she reached her 2nd birthday, but its been suggested that the way she uses it is 'unusual' in that she talks 'at' you rather than 'with' you, and only then with a few very close relations.  She has been taking dance classes for a year and she insists on sitting on a chair at the side, with her hands over her ears, she says she enjoys going but that it makes her sad that 'the other children don't play with me'.  She also won't dress herself or use the toilet herself, which I don't know if its part of it.  She used to bite her nails til they bled when she was 18 months old - I think she just finds life excrutiatingly terrifying and it breaks my heart that I don't know how to help.  I'm hoping that once we get a diagnosis we'll be offered some help and guidance, I'm dreading her starting school next year, because I just don't think the teachers will understand her, and they'll think she's doing fine because she's quiet, whereas she'll actually be spending 9-3 absolutely terrified and praying for home time to arrive.

  • Thank you both for your replys Smile

    Jojo my daughter does sound a little different. She has more of the behavioural problems but has very high speech (sounds like and adult), although they think it may be mimicked and that she doesn't understand language as well as she can use it. Glad to hear you'd heard the term though.

    I have looked into fagile X syndrome and I'm not expecting it to come back positive but you never know with these things. 

    Thank you Crystal, I have left a voicemail with our Pediatrition as she said I can call to ask questions so I think I will! I'm just hoping she'll be able to get the multi disapline assesment, thats the one her pediatrition wants but she is right on the age border for it, if not she'll have to go through her school phyc which I'm told is an even longer process (she starts school next week, eek!)

    Thank again guys, so great to have people to talk to on here

  • hi - a full assessment needs to be done to make things clear.  Ask them what the assessment will consist of and that may answer your question about asd.  On the other hand, check out the nas site or give them a call.  My son was diagnosed when they used phrases such as "autistic tendencies" so what exactly social communication disorder means I wouldn't like to say.  Sorry if I'm suggesting things you've already thought of!  bw

  • Hi my son has just been diagnosed with asd due to socio communication disorder . He is just 5 and has been seen by peditrician since age 3 as he was a slow talker , he basically has no real behavioural problems , though obsesses with dinosaurs and maybe struggles slightly with routine changes. My son also had the chromasone blood test but was negative . Does this sound similar to u xx
