[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here and I have no dog in this fight but I agree that most physicians would sign the disability certification for any autism dx, since it by definition is a disorder that impairs social interaction and communication. I have a ds with CP and he is less impaired in many ways than someone with a level 1 ASD dx. He is 6 yo and can ride a bike, swim, climb in a climbing gym better than his peers, etc. He has a normal range IQ, has age appropriate handwriting, good social skills, can dress himself and uses the toilet independently, etc. There was no question he qualified for a CARES account.[/quote]

Sorry you have to read the form. Physical disability is different.

The NP again - Code 4 is or CP but Code 1 is for autism. You will note it even includes "Aspergers" which is essential the old name for level 1 ASD. They don't have different requirements based on what code you check off. [/quote]

You don’t just check the box. You ALSO have to meet the enrollment criteria that they disability causes “marked and severe function limitations.”

The diagnosis of autism is the qualifying criteria for this.[/quote]
