[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]welcome to the wide umbrella of the DSM-5 definition - the gap is so much wider for what ASD is, most level 1 kids wouldn't have even been DX years ago before they broadened the definition. I doubt parents are DX shopping or what this label by any means, but here we are...[/quote] FWIW our child's ASD diagnosis didn't even get her an IEP (evaluator predicted this) and makes no difference in terms of insurance coverage, but it does help us understand her and recognize why she struggles when she does. Also helps us plan for what supports/accommodations she needs/will need. I don't care if it is called autism, Asperger's or something else but I am glad I understand my child is neurodivergent.[/quote]
