[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In short: They don't. But in order to service a child with a "Social Communication Disorder" and the other co-morbid conditions they need to choose the educational diagnosis of autism... and frankly, this combination screams autism to me. [b]Do not confuse the educational diagnosis with the ultimate identity of your child,[/b] I'd say if it gets him the extra support accept it and go from there. Do not buy into the myth that kids can't get rid off their label. [/quote] The doctors we saw didn't suspect autism and they definitely screen for it. I'm not worried about a label, but I don't want services simply b/c they're attached to a label rather services that fit the actual diagnoses. ADHD seems to be the biggest issue.[/quote]
