[quote=Anonymous]Well, it is true that he was reluctant to diagnose kids with ASDs because he though it would cause parents to downplay expectations (as I wrote in the other thread, patronizing). I know of one family that went to him and were told their DS did not have an ASD and he was later diagnosed with one -- and, trust me, it fit. I believe he came around somewhat toward the end of his life and did write the book "Engaging Autism." Perhaps he learned that parents wouldn't panic and lose their heads. In any event, when I hear someone say Dr. Greenspan (and Serena Weider, in addition, who told us our DS didn't have an ASD and he most certainly and obviously does) cleared their DC of having an ASD, I think it really doesn't mean much.[/quote]
