[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^so are you saying we should not try to diagnose and provide interventions at a young age but wait until the kid is older and clearly autistic to provide therapies?[/quote]

Not that poster, but yes, I don't think ASD should be diagnosed till later, and kids should receive the services regardless of the diagnosis.  With language kids it teases out around 4-5-6, when they are talking.  If its a dual diagnosis, its also pretty clear as well.  We did unnecessary therapies for a long time till I had enough and choose the ones I thought were helpful for my child's specific needs.[/quote]

I am that PP, and I agree with this. Treat all the needs right away with services, but don't give a child a label like ASD until you know for sure what you are dealing with.  [b]Use a broader Developmental Delay label.[/b] [/quote]

Diagnoses are medical.

Labels are school designations.

Some people just don't like that they received an autism diagnosis and their kid high functioning whereas other people's kids are less high functioning but not on the spectrum.  Get over it.[/quote]
