[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same parents who post these article crying out against overdiagnosis come on this forum daily to insist or promote a "full neuropsych evaluation" for any child who exhibits any behavioral, developmental or school based issue -- evaluations that are conducted by god knows who. You don't see that you are part of this problem. You don't see that you pathologize essentially normal behavior. You go around seeing "huge red flags" all the time and yet you decry high autism rates as estimated by parents. [/quote] Doubtful the same people who suggest that a neuropsych is the way to go when a child is having issues are the same ones complaining about over diagnosis of autism. In fact, the people who are complaining and posting all these articles about over diagnosis of ASD most likely never got their child a neuropsych evaluation... since that would be "pathologize essentially normal behavior".
