[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diagnoses aren’t labels. Your iep designation is a label b/c that’s how the schools decided on how to sort kids. You often can’t get help for your kid without a diagnosis and their needs change over time. Understanding how your brain is wired is part of who you are. [b]An autism diagnosis doesn’t define who a person is any more than having brown eyes or being tall or short does.[/b] [/quote] Except that having brown eyes and/or being tall or short doesn't impair people's everyday functioning. Autism does, and in that way, the diagnosis DOES define who a person is. Or, at least, the severity of it.[/quote]
