[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools are reading the same articles as us and are having the same debates. Our son was diagnosed with ASD. He is super high functioning, though, so the sped folks at his school are denying him an IEP. They say he is functioning at the same level as his peers and doesn't stand out at all in the classroom. The teacher flat out told me that she read a story about how our society is over diagnosing ASD and suggested that DS was misdiagnosed. So tge medical community moves the line, then the school community moves right along with it. It's a dance.[/quote] Yeah, it's a dance about $$ in the mind of schools, but keep fighting for your child. IEP meetings are no fun at all. My sympathies. Signed, a mom of a high-functioning ASD Kid [/quote]
