[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people are trying to get kids diagnosed with autism just for the so-called wonderful services, they'd be better off pursuing. Some other strategy! The services for high functioning kids are abysmal and are very hard to get. If you like spending money on advocates and outside evaluators who don't take insurance just to game the system, you are wacked! [/quote] THIS. Our DS had an ASD diagnosis (and re-confirmed) for a year. We provided this to his school. No special school services or covered therapies came his way. All very hard to get. All of it. Everyone recognized the problems, but solutions did not come free or easy. He continued to be treated just the same as everyone else (since he was bright, he surely knew better on how to act, etc.) ASD diagnosis = glide path to precious school resources and therapies? You have to be kidding![/quote]
