[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "We go the diagnosis after a 30 minute visit, mostly talking to me. Our follow-ups are 15-20 minutes." Need a new doctor--- typical experience is hours of testing, questionnaires for the parents and teachers and more than one appointment. [/quote] Not really. This kind of drive by diagnosis is very common. [b]Most of the parent in my group didn't have hours of testing[/b] --they couldn't afford it. Some d venture just went with labels from the school. [/quote] The MERLD mom strikes again. Again the anecdotal evidence from your group doesn't prove that doctors are handy out autism diagnoses willy nilly and/or are incentivized in any way to do so by insurance groups. "Labels" from the school aren't a medical diagnosis. MERLD hasn't been in the DSM since 2013 and won't get you an IEP.[/quote]
