[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Medical diagnosis and educational label are not the same thing. Get the educational label that provides your kid w/ the services they need. [/quote] Educational labels drive services in many schools, even though they are not supposed to. Giving an autism label to a child who has other issues instead can be disastrous in a school setting. I know, we barely escaped the school's relentless push for an autism label. Five years later, they were saying, "Whoops! Sorry we did that. Your child would not be where he is now if you had listened to us and put him in a center-based program."[/quote]
