[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ASD is getting over diagnosed. It’s a catch all for quirks. It’s not helpful. [/quote] Couldn't agree more, it's OVERUSED AND RIDICULOUS - how is it acceptable now that everything falls under a spectrum, no one kid with ASD looks the same, it's very frustrating as parent, because the label is overused and not well understood, even from present day educators who think kids fall under the same pot. We're in the same boat, with a kid that has some ASD traits but is leaning towards more ADHD, but because he can pay attention and isn't overly hyper, somehow he's more leaning towards ASD. Isn't there something else in between - there is so much gray zone with the spectrum discourse, can't they come up with some better (more accurate) labels?![/quote]
