  • Did the Paed say what autistic "traits" your child has?  Some professionals prefer to use words such as "traits" or "tendencies".  When my son was diagnosed in the late 1980s there was a disagreement between 2 professionals.  1 said "autism", the other wanted to use the phrase "autistic tendencies".  I asked them outright : was he autistic?? The answer was yes.  Therefore I indicated that should be written in their report.  I didn't want any ambiguity.  So, I'd have another word with the Paed to clarify.
