[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I've said b/f, I agree, the "estimated" number is probably higher than what the number actually is. [b]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. [/b] 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] Completely and totally untrue. Been there, done that. Autism assumptions drive the type of therapies a child gets. 100 percent. [/quote]
