[quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised a school will say they are assessing for/diagnosing autism. I think it is generally a medical diagnosis. I would absolutely insist on your own private assessment. Your daughter is suffering. I know anger and snarkiness can feel like a choice she is making and therefore it can be harder to insist that she doesn’t get to choose to refuse help. If she was bleeding or diabetes you wouldn’t give her the option of declining to do to the doctor. You’d take her to the doctor and figure out a way to get her to accept treatment. Your description in the other thread is of a child in real distress. She doesn’t have to live that way (and neither do you).[/quote]
