[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm I wouldn't really trust a pediatrician to diagnosis that. Stop trying to shape the diagnosis as you see fit,  it may be ASD.[/quote]

I agree the op is trying to shape the diagnosis but it is unclear as to why or what benefit they are looking for.   Just like adhd, now we are also very quick to diagnosis everything as autism which happened to us and is incorrect. [/quote]

There are proven tests and analysis that happens to diagnose ASD. In fact, it is very stringent because according to federal mandates ASD is very specific and provides coverage. If a practice was doing it fraudulently it would cause them to be investigated and perhaps prosecuted against federal laws (let alone law suite and loss of medical licenses).

It's not like you go in to get a flu shot and they give your kid a 30 second look over and write ASD.[/quote]

There are no "proven tests" to diagnose autism.  It is a subjective diagnosis.  [/quote]
