On April 3rd, we posted sites That will help determine diagnoses and overcoming the "What's next" feeling parents get... we also found a great blog post. 

• "ASD, ODD or ADHD? Which is the Best Fit?" With certain children, it can be hard to tell the difference between an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). 
• Autism Symptoms & Early Signs As a parent, you never want to believe that your precious bundle has a problem. But when it comes to autism, catching it early—ideally by the age of eighteen months—makes a huge difference.
