[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kids on the spectrum look "natural" how are they on the spectrum?
[/quote]

Physically they look fine.  But when they talk, socialize, etc. they appear "different."  Just like kids with many other disorders.  [/quote]

Not always you twits.  It's a "spectrum."[/quote]

We don't call people twits on this forum. [/quote]

Wow, you're calling this out b/c two posters are being "silly and annoying" definition of a "twit," and the not the parent rejects the autism diagnosis for her high functioning kid b/c it "minimizes those who truly are?"

[/quote]

The "spectrum" is making the ASD diagnosis a joke. It is harmful for those with actual, real autism, not the "little bit" of autism that kids are growing out of left and right these days.[/quote]

It's only a "joke" to you b/c your bitter about your kid's diagnosis.  Time to get over it.[/quote]

I'm not bitter at all about my child's true diagnosis.  I'm tired of everything and everyone being labeled ADD/ADHD and autism vs. getting real diagnosis and services to fit.  My child is doing great.[/quote]

Not everything is labeled autism.  Great that your kid got appropriate intervention and no longer "looks autistic."  So if you have a "true diagnosis," time to let go the initial autism diagnosis b/c you are obviously obsessed, bitter, and prejudiced about it.  It's holding you back more than it ever will your kid.  [/quote]

This poster is not alone in her experience. I know many, many parents whose children were either labeled or diagnosed with autism, only to have the label overturned later. Lots of wasted time, tears, money, and therapies on the wrong things.[/quote]
