[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lazy doctors are calling everything autism these days. And you can't really trust a diagnosis under 3. Back when her son was diagnosed, studies were showing 60 percent of kids under 2 were misdiagnosed.[/quote] It's because of funding. Autism diagnosis = therapy paid for by insurance. Ironically not a lot of research is done on how to treat the lower functioning ones more successfully. I suppose it's easier to have results if you are treating kids who just have mild issues - makes everyone feel good and productive. But honestly I was sitting in the Drs office and picked up a science magazine where they explained that they have studied very few 'non verbal children' because they are not out in the community and they don't know where to find them. Just so depressing - isn't that what all this funding is supposed to be for? [/quote]
