[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend works in CA with an autism program. She recently told me the numbers are up so that they can qualify more kids for services given the budget cuts in CA. I.e. kids that might have only met some developmental delay criteria are being "diagnosed" with autism. [/quote] They are doing it so the kids get services. No diagnosis, no services, right? If the controversy is that the kids need an autism label to get needed services, the problem is how the program rations services according to the diagnosis and not a problem with the diagnosis of autism itself.[/quote]
