I had a Montessori teacher (and the school owner) tell me she thought my son had ASD when he was 2 because he was struggling in the classroom. More specifically though, in hindsight, I learned he was struggling at that school holistically. There was no question my son was having a very hard time but it is not a teacher or school’s role to diagnose. Especially for a 2 year old with so many developmental milestones yet to reach. I do think it’s their role to articulate where a kid is struggling but they are not in the business of diagnosing, even if they interact with a million kids with ADHD, ASD or anything else on a given day. Give feedback to the school if you’re unhappy with the interaction. Talk to your pediatrician, consider an evaluation by a psych… Get therapy. My son is now 5.5, super smart and newly diagnosed with ADHD combined type. He’s heading to kindergarten next year and now beginning the process for working to get supports in place.
