New diagnosis of autism with a not completed assessment. Long story short he felt unsafe and found the questions too personal and refused to finish. He won’t sit for the test again as it would be completed by the same person. He has profound adhd and it’s so hard to determine what’s what. I see it my wife not so much. She often says well that sit and that sign and this one etc….are also adhd. I point out when his adhd meds are working well you still see the following: rigid thinking, “holding a grudge”, inflexible at times and he exhibits PDA qualities. My wife hesitates to put it in school papers but I told her that the ASD explains his “rages” as meltdowns. He occasionally has meltdowns usually when another student just pick and pokes at him all day. He usually melts down the last hour or so. Working on sleep issues and possible day time medication adjustments. Do we add it officially even though items he needs in his IEP can fit under his adhd and anxiety.
