It's not an epidemic. It's gross misdiagnosis/overdiagnosis/sloppy [b]diagnosis to get services. [/b]

Also, they did not use the DSM 5 -- and that will cut autism dxs by a third.

Oh please.  Enough with this urban legend of entree into the magic land of services!
Our diagnosis produced ZERO covered services.   Insurance company stated "not medically necessary" in the early years and then turned to "it's an academic issue" that school should cover...school said the grades are good, so uh, no....
So, years of private pay we underwent.
Also didn't pave the way for an IEP or 504 one bit.   Finally determined eligible after nearly a year lawyer/advocate involvement.

I spit out my water laughing at this. It's so true. Some people seem to think we go begging for an autism diagnosis to open some magical door. My checkbook would like to take the stand to testify to the fact the magical autism label didn't do bupkus for us.[/quote]
