[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^so are you saying we should not try to diagnose and provide interventions at a young age but wait until the kid is older and clearly autistic to provide therapies?[/quote]

Not that poster, but yes, I don't think ASD should be diagnosed till later, and kids should receive the services regardless of the diagnosis.  With language kids it teases out around 4-5-6, when they are talking.  If its a dual diagnosis, its also pretty clear as well.  We did unnecessary therapies for a long time till I had enough and choose the ones I thought were helpful for my child's specific needs.[/quote]

I am that PP, and I agree with this. Treat all the needs right away with services, but don't give a child a label like ASD until you know for sure what you are dealing with.  Use a broader Developmental Delay label. [/quote]

I understand what you are saying, but how can services be evidence based if there is no diagnostic category? [/quote]
