[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never accepted the autism diagnoses either.

Best thing we ever did. Kept us far away from the autism industrial complex.

Just reading through this thread, I have a 2year old recently diagnosed with ASD that I completely disagree with…and am concerned that she now has this label in her medical files…how do we deal with this ? #Concerned[/quote]
She's 2? How was she diagnosed?

Through a 40 min virtual appt with a developmental pediatrician's nurse practitioner..who never got to observe her or anything. Just asked questions about her speech delay. [/quote]
You should wait until you can get a proper in person diagnosis.  If the initial diagnosis is wrong, the case file will reflect that. [/quote]

My child saw 3 child psychologists, 2 developmental pediatricians plus ADOS test (all in person from children hospital) before they are comfortable to give out ASD diagnosis at 3. We started the journey at 18 months old when he failed the m-chat test. He did not have his first word till almost 3 year old, was severely speech delay. I can't believe 40 min virtual appt that give out ASD diagnosis unless your child has many ASD symptoms like from textbook.[/quote]

Yours is how it should be done, but how this posters was done is pretty common.[/quote]
