[quote=Anonymous]Getting insurance coverage shouldn't be the reason you want an autism diagnosis for your child. I have autism and it's hell. It's no fun. It's forever. I wish I had an easier diagnosis, one that isn't as permanent. I agree that autism is highly over diagnosed these days. I agree many children diagnosed with autism these days don't actually have autism but autism like symptoms that could be addressed without the autism diagnosis. Properly diagnosing autism is NOT easy. Not every psychologist is an expert in autism. I'd always get experts opinion when it comes to diagnosing my child with autism. And every parent with a child should be HAPPY to hear "No, it's not autism." Period.[/quote]
