[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say that there were services that my son couldn't get because he didn't have an ASD diagnosis. With our insurance, ASD got you into a whole separate program with many services that we would have benefited from.[/quote] Exactly. In the states where an autism diagnosis brings state-mandated insurance coverage, there's a high incentive to get an ASD diagnosis. Of course in many of those states, they have severely ramped up what it takes to get an official diagnosis, like you can only use a few approved clinics. [/quote] Here is a list of states with state mandated coverage for ASD: http://www.asha.org/Advocacy/state/States-Specific-Autism-Mandates/ DC and Maryland does not have it. VA does but only for children 2-6 yrs old and these kids are covered as they get older. However, if your child is diagnosed with ASD after the age of 6, as is common with HFA/Asperger's, you are out of luck.[/quote]
