Quite hard lol as that crosses onto another like my youngest mainly dispraxia as fine motor skills are poor & when we went for initial consultation apparently theres 5 that are closely linked called an umbrella & u have one could mean u have a mild version others

they are

Autism, Aspergers, dispraxic, dyslexia, & cant think of other to do with speech

Theres strong dyslexic in my family [it is inherited] altho that is the case for my youngest its become in dispraxic form on passing on. This is something with these syndromes is that u cannot self diagnose as they are related but not the same that symptoms can mask over to others but doesnt mean to be one or the other, until been assessed for all areas to narrow down & rule them out before actual diagnosis. Complicated but long rd we've got in next 36mnths years gee thats speech & launguage therapy assessment a way off!!

ps ooh cheers tinks...just looked at that list & we ticked a fair few off & now know why he's being referred to speech & language [strangely not a poor point on face of it lol] ah so they are looking at aspergers as well as dispraxia he could have both

ah well full mot doing lol.
