[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again...re-read your comments and the OVER-DIAGNOSIS thing is like nails on chalkboard to me. "Oh these days they say EVERY kid has autism. It's all about making money." Makes me want to scream and flail my arms in the air.

Oh and then some say..."His uncle so and so had similar issues and he's fine." Uncle so and so isn't fine. He struggled through school, he has no self esteem, he can't get along with people, and he has spent a small fortune getting therapy as an adult. My goal is to make life easier for my child and help him be indepedent and happily employed. I want him to have meaningful relationships since I am not going to be around forever. GAH!!![/quote]

well, here's what's nails on the chalkboard to me: Trying to claim  other parents are "in denial" and that their child really has autism.
There's a ton of overdiagnosing of autism  on, it's well documented and all over the news these days.  Proof is all these "cured" children after a few years of therapy. There are all kinds of special needs out there not just autism.

It works BOTH ways.
