[quote=Anonymous]As I've said b/f, I agree, the "estimated" number is probably higher than what the number actually is. However, getting speech, OT, or behavioral therapy under an ASD diagnosis or something else will look the same regardless of what diagnosis it falls under. And DUH, when kids get older it's easier to tease out an issue at age 6, 7, 8, or older than when a kid is a toddler or preschooler. So if you don't want to add to the inflated estimate, refuse services under the ASD label and you'll be golden.[/quote]
