[quote=Anonymous]Witnitizer always gets his feathers ruffled when the CDC comes out with autism prevalence rates. Who cares if now those with the label are more on the higher end and why call it a different disorder instead of you know a SPECTRUM disorder? Would her prefer we call it SADDD (social and developmental delay disorder?) The point is these kids need services. They are at risk. There are indeed MORE of these kids no matter what you call them. Talk to veteran SN teachers. Sure maybe a very small subset were just the endearing nerds in gifted programs, but that is nothing. We have lots of kids flapping around, unable to communicate effectively who need to ideally become productive members of society. Sure the prognosis may be better for HFA, but I can guarantee you if we just label those kids typical and they don't get services society will pay the price. My kid may be doing well now, but there is no way in hell he'd be here without the intensive EI, etc.[/quote]
