Why does that matter? Seriously, why are you so hostile? If you disagree, then do so, and explain why.

We got a medical diagnosis from a professional, a very real diagnosis, and not one we were expecting but which definitely fits our kid. People like you empower others to dismiss that diagnosis because it isn't obvious to them.

At least, if you have an opinion about ASD and whether thousands of other people's kids really have it, tell us what that opinion is based on. What personal experience do you have to paint every kid that seems "normal enough" to you as having been over diagnosed?[/quote]

I literally never said that every kid who appears "normal enough" has been over-diagnosed. You are responding to everyone who has questioned your kid's diagnosis. That must be painful, and I really mean that. If you want to vent at me, OK. Happy to be your punching bag. Seriously. I bet you and your kid have been through a lot, and I bet it sucks that people don't realize that.[/quote]

No, I'm responding to your statement that "It feels like any kid who isn't socially adept has ASD," and have asked you to explain how you got this impression. That doesn't make you my "punching bag," that means I want you to support this statement because it doesn't match with what I have observed or experienced and usually when I hear people say this is is because of vibes they got from some trolling magazine article or social media post.[/quote]
