Hi..this is my first post on this forum and your topic has hit home for me. My son who is now 13 was recently dx with aspergers syndrome. My advice to you is don't wait...the earlier the intervention the better. Label schmable. ...you need to have a concrete diagnosis so when it comes time for school you (your son) will have the right to things he will need to be successful....please do your self a favor (so you won't be regretful, as I am)...visit the Oasis site http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/aswhatisit.html also the delphi forums (aspergers family forum) http://www.delphiforums.com/ have a great message board the people there are very helpful and are knowledgable about plans of action and the best ways to proceed....good luck.....p.s. if this was a pediatrician that came up with the dx, i would be surprised, as most of the time they will refer you to a pediatric developmental specialist or a neurologist. (also it does not seem to be usual for medication to be prescribed right away.)
