We are still learning about autism and are understanding that all people have different issues, situations, limitations. DS2 seems to be pretty low level and goes with the flow.
Rekenna,
I empathize with what you are going through. Our DS5 was "labled" autistic one week after he began Kindergarten. I believe the hardest part is getting through all the testing and waiting for the results.
Our DS5 was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyspraxia. Even through the doctors felt that he exibts some autistic characteristics, he did not have enough to be considered autistic. Evidently some of these same characteristics can also be a result of ADHD. Anyway, He is in 1st grade and is doing great.

We took him to Disney before all this began and even though he had a few meltdowns we had a great time.
