Doctors, like ours, do have an incentive.  With an autism diagnosis, we can get ABA, speech, OT and PT, without much difficulty.  Before we had the diagnosis, we had to private pay services and they would not cover it.  Doctor wanted child in services, so doctor gives the diagnosis to make sure we can get the diagnosis paid for.  Many insurances only pay for services under autism.

They aren't getting kick-backs, but they are doing it to get kids services that kids may not have access to depending on the parents financial situation.

We go the diagnosis after a 30 minute visit, mostly talking to me.  Our follow-ups are 15-20 minutes.[/quote]

You go to a lousy, lazy doctor. There are examples of people doing their job poorly in every profession; just because you got a junk ASD diagnosis after 30 minutes doesn't mean that most -- or even many -- doctors hand out autism diagnoses because of "incentives."[/quote]

Again, you keep failing to understand what "incentivizing" here means. Didn't do well in English class, eh?
