At S’s ASD evaluation by an ASD specialist (this is important-specialist in ASD-an appointment with just a psychologist/psychiatrist may not be specialized enough) the dr asked a series of questions that were focused a lot of pre age 5. ASD is present at the beginning from my understanding and doesn’t just develop in older years…it would have been present in pre age 5 years. If friend has S’s baby book or can start thinking of early developmental years it will help a lot. If they make an appointment, start jotting down memories about s from early years…pull out pictures/videos to refresh memory, old artwork. Any communication or motor skill delays? Any aversions to taste/sound/smell/lights? Any meltdowns or strange coping techniques?
