[quote=Anonymous]If ASD parents want to post about stigma their child has faced, I am very sympathetic and would be interested in hearing about their experiences. What is grating is the posters who say their children are repeatedly mis-diagnosed with ASD, and then bring up, repeatedly, the lifelong stigma they believe kids with ASD face. Who's perpetuating stigma here? I don't want kids to be misdiagnosed, and if a kid doesn't have autism, that is great! But when these threads become about how autism equals lifelong stigma and only the Cameratas can tell the difference and give the one true diagnosis, I just think: ok, they're in denial. My son has ASD (Aspergers). We've never even been offered ABA, much less forced into hours of it. I WISH people were trying to give us hours of services. [/quote]
