[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is complaining about the stigma of having an ASD education label. To parents of kids with ASD who have an IEP under autism. The lifelong stigma it will carry and how autism in general is overdiagnosed. Like it is a choice....[/quote] If that's how you took it, that's too bad. What I'm actually saying is parents having their kid evaluated need to do their homework: select an evaluator who knows what they are doing, who has an impeccable track record and training. Got to a research hospital, a university, somewhere where they know what they are doing. Don't accept the word of every Tom, Dick & Harry evaluator -- because they might not have any idea what they are doing. Hint: If they don't know what a differential diagnosis is, they have no business diagnosing anybody with anything. [/quote]
