as of Monday Cyan my seven year old has been officially diagnosed.

Autism
ADHD
prominent emerging features of dysphonetic dyslexia

She is found to be about 2 years behind her age level and 3 years behind in phonics. ( she registered at 4 yrs old in pseudo word decoding (measures use of phonetic knowledge to sound out nonsense words)
She is one point below average on her iq (normal was 90-100 she is 89)

And has no working knowledge of phonics.

Where we go from here.. I'm unsure. But at least I have my second opinion, first dr said aspergers Syndrome.. and was wrong.

I start her on a patch to control the melt downs she has and to see if we can get her attention to improve before school time. though she can remain in 1st grade this year (she was held back in K) she will most likely need special education as she gets older and classes get more centered around phonics.
