[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really confused.

If the child in question is young, and is performing at a developmentally appropriate level, then why is there a concern for additional evaluations and potentially more services?  Is it solely because of the social issues?  Because many children face social issues--isn't that normal?

And if it needs to be addressed, can't it be worked on and supported the same way it would be handled for all children?  Gee, all kids have different personalities, is it healthy to try so aggressively to mold them?[/quote]

This thread is talking about kids with who have a medical diagnosis, Autism Spectrum Disorder, which is recognized as a disorder under IDEA,  not people with just introverted personalities.

Since it's obvious you don't have a child whose diagnosed medical issues are impacting their education in ways other than just grades,  you needn't concern yourself about why they get services and supports to address these needs.

If after reading through this thread, you still don't "get it".  Oh well.[/quote]
