[/QUOTE] Great to know, Karolysgirl.  Can you also post this information under my puberty resources collection?  Thanks. http://www.autism-pdd.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16099&am p;KW=puberty+resources   Hi Norway Mom, Thank you so much for the info.  i can't tell you how helpful it was.  i don't understand doctors in this country.  it seems like every other country except USA knows about girls with autism and encopresis.  i am disgusted.  i am definately taking your advice and changing neurologists!! The system is extremely biased towards girls.  how come my son was diagnosed at age 3 and my daughter who is 10 is still not diagnosed?  it is clear to me that they have the same thing.  thank you!!!  tie dye lady tie dye lady: Because boys cause trouble? My girl is so quiet it would be easy to overlook her!  I am so grateful for her SLP catching her, at SIX. -- OTOH, do you need a medical diagnosis?  We do not have one, jsut school services for now.
