[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is very dismissive and abusive towards SN families. I would give a kidney and an eye for my child not to have a diagnosis and to be an NT with average everything. Just because wealthier families are able to put their kids in privates doesn't mean these are made up diagnoses purchased for money. Well resourced families probably have more access to diagnostics (e.g. don't have to wait 2 years on a wait list for a place that takes insurance) and specialists. They may have same average incidence of ADHD but remediate it better and have a smaller proportion of untreated/undiagnosed cases than the general population. [/quote] Oh come on. Actual ADHD and autism cannot be “remediated” away like that. Maybe there are a handful of kids accepted who are neurodiverse in preschool before it is apparent and don’t get counseled out. But no, the fact that Larlo tested with “low processing speed” doesn’t mean he is actually disabled. [/quote]
