I asked Chatgpt to DX my kid

[Anonymous]

And the results were quite interesting!

I did this because of the Sparks study on the 4 autism types. I couldn't tell where my son would land in these.


So I put in all his test results and symptoms , and it came up... not autism.

Which we have always thought, but the school system has always disagreed.

What was the diagnosis?

Language Disorder

That’s interesting. I think ChatGPT is riddled with errors but it can certainly compile information.

The Sparks study is on kids diagnosed through a medical model. The educational diagnosis of autism is completely separate. It has different criteria.

Confirmation bias. It only knows about your kid what you are feeding it, and you have a bias.

I put in all his test results without comment. I didn't leave anything out.

In fact I asked it to match us with one of the Sparks categories.

But why should it be different? That sends a lot of people down the wrong path.

I didn’t say it should or shouldn’t be different. I said it is different. The eligibility categories under IDEA are defined by federal and state law. Because there are only a handful of categories they are written to be broad enough that children who need help receive it, and therefore do not align exactly with medical diagnoses.

The truth is there ARE plenty of other designations besides ASD in the IDEA but autism has become the go to.

You put in his ADOS result and Chat GPT said he didn’t have autism?

ADOS is 1 test in many the battery of tests.. It is not definitive.
