[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a moderate autism kid. Talks, but that's it. I get really annoyed when people tell me their kid is autistic and is attending a normal school without a shadow.[/quote] My kid attends a normal (gifted) school without a shadow or any real supports. He is diagnosed with ADHD, but on multiple evals has not gotten an ASD diagnosis. His only support is medication and OT for handwriting. But he's so socially different, and doesn't mesh with other kids, and teachers find him so much different than other kids that I suspect they all think I'm in denial. I totally agree with the PP that an autism diagnosis should be reserved for kids who needs the type of support PP's kid needs. But it's funny how many people think the social traits alone are basis for an ASD diagnosis. [/quote]
