[quote=Anonymous]I work in preschool special ed. Over the years, I have seen kids who come in with ASD diagnoses, and significant delays certainly seem to have all the features of ASD, who exit our program a few years later looking much more like kids with another disorder (ADHD is a common one), kids who enter looking very similar and who develop lots of skills, but continue to be very clear autistic, and kids whose skills develop very slowly. Some of the kids in each category have gotten intensive ABA style intervention, some have gotten biomedical interventions, some got both, and some got neither, so it is hard for me to say what caused the changes in kids, but also easy to see why a family in that first category (the ones who no longer met criteria for ASD) might attribute the change to whatever form of intervention they chose.[/quote]
