They kept implying that he &#8220;shows signs&#8221; of a child that needs special Ed, but he was tested by the autism network when he was 2 1\/2, by the school system when he was 3, and by his pediatrician last week (from the recommendation of the school counselor) and all the tests said he was fine, just a little behind. The school principal said they want to test him and that the schools diagnosis is different from a doctor&#8217;s. I&#8217;m just getting the feeling that they want to label him right away, it&#8217;s only been a week.
