  Thanks! We’re just beginning the IEP journey, I’ve seldom heard a good thing about the committee. Parenthood is full of surprises—not so long ago, I’ve thought of myself as a seasoned parent, having two older kids. ¯\_(ツ)_/​¯

  Your kid seems exactly like my daughter (who turned 4 a week ago). Does your kids still struggle with speech? I signed up my daughter for a psychological+speech evaluation tomorrow, and was surprised when many of the psychologist’s initial questions hinted on autism diagnosis—after I made it repeatedly clear in several questionnaires that she doesn’t meet the standard criteria (very social, elaborate pretend play, no stimming …).
