[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one knows what hfa is or looks like any more - as pp says it is so overdiagnosed in some populations (Altho autism is also under diagnosed in some other populations) as to be ridiculous and meaningless. Our evaluator said the main reason she gave dc an asd dx when he was 7 was that she asked him about his family and he didn’t ask her about hers. I think that sums up where we’ve got to with diagnosing asd Op all those things could just be her personality. Asd is only worth diagnosing if someone has significant challenges relating to others and those challenges are causing distress or avoidance [/quote] Are you serious? Should a 7 year old be expected to ask an adult about their family after a similar question? My kid would definitely not do that consistently. More so with a peer but she would feel like an adult is just collecting information.[/quote]
