[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine didn't talk until he was 4.  Combo of developmental delay and a tongue tie.  School system wanted to label him eligible under Autism even though Dev Ped. still adamantly says no, even after 5 years.

Once his language started catching up, a lot of the social emotional problems improved or resolved because he could understand what we wanted and also express how he was feeling.

Also, labels/diagnoses are not supposed to drive services.  Mine still did self contained enhanced autism until this year so he could get more intensive services.[/quote]

Different poster , but what do you mean that diagnoses aren't supposed to drive services? Isn't that exactly what they do?[/quote]

The diagnostic label doesn't drive services, the individualized needs do.[/quote]

No, the diagnostic label absolutely drives services as some insurances will only pay with an ASD label, which is why some doctors are so quick to give it early on (and others not so quick which makes it very hard for some families to access therapies).[/quote]
