[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's not an epidemic. It's gross misdiagnosis/overdiagnosis/sloppy diagnosis to get services. Also, they did not use the DSM 5 -- and that will cut autism dxs by a third. [/quote] So you are saying that there are a bunch of kids who are getting services they don't need? That parents are in cahoots with doctors to get their kids services they don't need. Why would they do that?[/quote] ...so that insurance will cover therapy - that's why. Many therapies for kids on spectrum also help kids with ADHD, Sensory issues, MERLD[/quote] My insurance does not give a shit that my kid has autism. We get a certain amount of sessions for OT or ST or PT no matter what the disability. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to find top notch clinicians near us who take insurance and don't have massive waitlists.[/quote]
