[quote=Anonymous]first off- go see a developmental pediatrician.  An autism diagnosis isn't thrown out just for language delays.  There has to be more areas affected i.e. social and sensory. My nephew was language delayed but it was obvious he did not have autism.

second-You do not have to agree to any label until the child is 7. Despite his deficiencies even if under the developmental delay code they still need to provide the services he needs

third- I agree with PP's that if they are recommending autism self contained classrooms it is because the child can benefit from that. These classes cost the county a lot more money to run so they don't just put kids in there?? I had to fight to get my son, who clearly had autism and was non verbal into an autism classroom.  For some reason parents think these classes will not be good for their kids as they have a bad stigma. The have a low, sometimes 1:1 ratio and the kids get the focused attention they need. At least that has been our experience in MOCO.

Good luck![/quote]
