[quote=Anonymous]If you are talking about kids with Asperger's - kids at the higher end of the spectrum without language delays who are the ones pushing up the autism diagnosis numbers and are usually diagnosed once they enter school, we were never offered ABA nor was it ever recommended by our developmental pediatrician. We got free school based OT, PT, speech (pragmatics), and social skills group via the IEP; all recommended by our developmental pediatrician, educational consultant and/or neuropsych who we paid to attend and advocate for us at IEP meetings. Not sure what you mean by all these "extra services" that you get from an autism diagnosis at least for school aged kids without language delays other than pragmatics.[/quote]
