[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asperger's hasn't existed as a diagnosis since DSM5 came out.[/quote] This is 13:41. I'm aware of this, however Aspergers is a more specific term that is useful when talking about the dilemma of whether to diagnose or not. HFA is used fairly broadly to mean a much larger chunk of the spectrum so does not convey the same meaning in this context. [/quote] Culturally and academically it's fine to use. People know what you mean. All the MAPs--Model Aspergers Programs didn't change their names. OP, I'm wondering if the people who say that there's no benefit actually have an older child. There are actually college level support programs for students with LDs, executive functioning issues and even autism, e.g.: https://www.rit.edu/~w-ssp/ So yes, think the future--think long term.[/quote]
