While researching Aspergers for my SIL(My niece was just DX) I realized that my 13 yo son has many of the traits. My ds has a ADHD DX and is gifted and we are dealing with some newly emerging anxiety issues. He has lots of trouble with social cues, makes virtually no eye contact, has an odd gait, has lots of trouble communicating with his peers(although he does have a few close friends), misinterprets basic communications,etc. We are seeing a psychiatrist in February because his current psychologist feels he has more going on than ADHD and feels that Aspergers is a possibility(but wouldn't go as far as to DX it). I am wondering if a child can be DX at age 13? From most of the reading I have done Aspergers is something that is usually DX'ed in early childhood. Also, he has had lots of testing, although mostly IQ and Achievement, is there other testing that would indicate Aspergers? How long does it usually take to get a DX?
Thanks for any and all help???
