[quote=Anonymous]This Mom thinks she is an expert because she has a child on the spectrum. She is being ridiculous. You can tell her that her experience with autism does not mean she is an expert. A speech delay is not autism, and narrowed interests are not autism either. Sometimes one can exhibit “autistic” like traits and they don’t have autism. In fact, a speech therapist, while not equipped to diagnose, probably has much more experience with children with ASD. In your case, your speech therapist does not see it. Or you could simply not engage with this woman anymore. [/quote]
