[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious as to why the OP needs to know.  I did not know him and my dc was not a patient. I have read some of his books. If he were still alive and OP was considering making an appointment, that would be one thing.  But it seems to me that OP is trying to drum up trouble for someone who can no longer defend himself.[/quote]

This is why people shouldn't question any OP's motivation for writing a thread. My child was diagnosed by Dr. Greenspan as NOT having ASD and he had very autistic-LIKE symptoms but it was confirmed by at least five people afterwards that he did not have ASD. I have a lot of respect for the man and my child saw him numerous times and just one month before he died also. I'm the OP and I'm not trying to drum up trouble. I just want to know where those parents are that I personally met whose children WERE diagnosed by Greenspan as having ASD. I could see the difference between their children and my child and understood Greenspan's thinking better after I was able to recognize the difference.[/quote]

Thanks for the followup. I get why you asked the question, given that ridiculous comment an PP made about him not wanting to tell parents their children were ASD because he was afraid to hurt their feelings. In all his writings, Greenspan had a very nuanced view of autism/ASD. He felt it was being rampantly misdiagnosed, and wrote about that not long before his death. [/quote]
