[quote=Anonymous] There are a couple of moms here whose children have ASD and are apparently thriving. However, these children fall all the old Asperger's end of the spectrum and when you have good language and high intelligence, there's a lot you can do to overcome or mask your weaknesses. And because these kids do well in school, schools love them. They often test well and are great students, just the kind of kid schools reward and will lavish attention and resources on. It's simply not the truth that an IEP will make a child's autism disappear and everything magically gets better. In fact, a bad IEP or wrong autism label can make things a lot worse. If your child struggles with language and is low verbal and low receptive, even if they have high or average intelligence, the ballgame changes. These kids are a lot more work academically and don't test well, so schools don't want to put forth the effort in their success. [/quote]
