[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 Sometimes doctors diagnose children who have severe emotions or behaviors with ASD for insurance purposes.[/quote] Yes, unfortunately there is a point in getting the DX -- you can often get more help. My kid is 14 and DX with ASD. He was happy to get the label because for him it explains why he is so different. H said he is glad he is not "just weird." But the helpful part has been with school and his IEP -- the DX was a game changer in terms of the services he got. Also, a DX confers a lot of rights in the state of Maryland -- look up the Autism Waiver. [/quote]
