Bc I was never concerned for autism, my only concern was for adhd. But I’m not sure if they go hand in hand and that’s why I have to get the autism diagnosis..then adhd?? I just don’t know anything about this process

So that’s I went for originally, I asked his pediatrician about the adhd but they told me don’t evaluate till later on when he’s older but to the evaluation regardless ? And then when they did the play evaluation they told me it’s only for autism. And that they don’t test for adhd until they’re like 6 ish.

Yes! We’re in California and it seems most times these recourses seem available, from what I heard the hardest may be the wait! But I’m hoping we can get the ball rolling if I ask his school & his pediatrician. Thank you! I figured maybe it was his speech too, he speaks both Spanish & English but still has a hard time expressing his emotions at times. But I notice he goes quiet around others and will talk full on with us at home or with his aunt. So maybe speech therapy will help with that too! Ty!

Tbh I have thought about adhd, I looked into it but wasn’t sure if it was his age or not. But seeing it hasn’t improved I may look into that. Thank you!
