Can you have "autistic like" symptoms and not be under the "umbrella"? If so, is there a diagnosis? What about the "sensory intergration disorder" I've heard about, is that under the "umbrella of autism"? Now that you are bombarded with questions (ha, ha) just wondered if anyone could answer them. thanks coley101
