[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, a whole 119 kids compared to the 1 in 68 children identified with autism...

OP, this is a diagnosis issue (or misdiagnosis) not kids "beating" or "overcoming" autism.[/quote]

If you read, you will see that these individuals were carefully reviewed prior to tracking in the study.  [/quote]

It's a very limited study.  119 kids is a drop in the bucket. [b]These kids are not cured and still have traits. [/b] They may have had the same prognosis without services.  It is impossible to say. [/quote]

You're too much. I think most parents seeking to help their ASD kids would consider a loss of diagnosis while maintaining some traits/ quirks a HUGE success.

Besides, this is not the first study. A larger one (1300 kids) in 2012 showed even larger percentages of recovery - as high as 1/3. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2012/01/18/peds.2011-1717.abstract

Another study found a ~20% recovery rate, but I don't have time to locate it now.

If they have quirks and traits and a history or autism, then they still have autism.  [/quote]
