[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This? This right here is why 1 in 68 kids have "autism" now in the US. But not in Canada or Germany or any other industrialized wealthy nation. [quote]I could care less if ASD is over diagnosed as long as these kids are getting the help they need.[/quote] [/quote] Maybe because the USA has a higher standard for children.[/quote] You think we have more higher standards than most of Western Europe and Canada and Australia? No. If we did, we'd have way more social services. We do, however, have a system where a parent can sue the school district to push for services. In some ways, that's a good thing, obviously. But, certainly, there are wealthy parents that have the means to abuse the system. [/quote] You think there is an epidemic of wealthy parents suing the school systems to get their non-autistic children autism services? :shock: [/quote]
