[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With an ASD diagnosis, you are stuck with public school.  Even if you got rid of the IEP, there would still be the diagnosis.
  Is it possible to get another eval that removes the diagnosis?  [/quote]

You can lose a diagnosis, so they do the ADOS but you don’t qualify for the diagnosis. Not common though, usually see this with kids that start services VERY early, like 12-24 months. [/quote]
NP. Can we go back to the developmental pediatrician and ask for a second ADOS? Our child got an ASD diagnosis at 22 months, but things are very different now at age 6.[/quote]

NP. You can do that. I want to say though-I guess my feeling reading this is that you might end up disappointed if the dx is still ASD. My dc is now 10. 10 looks very different than 6, which looked different than 22 months. They are still a person with ASD, an autistic person (they are 2E as well).

OP, I am not local and don't know about the schools there. I know where I am, that any school that I'd have to 'hide' their dx, would be a poor fit for my dc. [/quote]

+1. Sibling and spouse get their older child tested despite preschool all but begging them to and many indicators of ASD. Child was in K at mainstream private this year and apparently ‘loves it’ but was asked my school to undergo neuropsych due to inattention and social deficits a few months ago. I assume the school will try to work with them, but the social supports they offer are limited. Avoiding testing so as to prevent a dx from being shared or holding back a dx don’t always result in a better outcome. [/quote]
