[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we really need the what does ASD look like when it looks different for every child and its such a huge range given ASD encompasses everything from very mild concerns to someone who cannot speak or function without a caretaker.[/quote]

There is nothing in the ASD criteria that is mild. It is only mild relative to the severe end of autism.

I know people don't want to believe this, but a quick look at severity levels spells this out.[/quote]
And what is your experience with autistic kids?[/quote]

I have a special needs child evaluated muliple times for autism. While he was never found to be autistic, his other issues have meant IEPs and some special education classes . [/quote]
So you don't have any actual experience with autistic children.  You just have a kid with something else and you can read the DSM, but somehow that tells something relevant about other people's children?[/quote]

No. I am in special needs parents groups. I would say more than half my friend circle is moms whose chilfren have autism. [/quote]
