It's a pretty limited spectrum actually. But schools and professionals who provide services have been incentivized to diagnose autism. So you go looking for it and that's what you find.

The explosion of numbers is not in the low functioning kids. It's all in the high-functioning area. That's why 70 percent of kids who got PDD-NOS today would no longer qualify for an ASD diagnosis.

You want to know who is really pissed about these new numbers? The parents of kids who have low-functioning autism. Because their kids are being left behind as all the emphasis now is on "curing" the high functioning alleged ASD children[/quote]

Schools want to give our kids more services??? Seriously? What rock do you live under? It's often a battle to get the amount of services a child truly needs in the school system. They are looking to save money. To be honest the only professionals I have encountered who have been desperate to anthologize were OTs. My child has a great OT, but there are OTs that screen at preschools for clients and suddenly half the boys have sensory issues.[/quote]
