[quote=Anonymous]My DC is 18 and when he was very young insurance companies would stop covering therapies the moment a diagnosis of Autism was made. After years of lobbying and activism, the Autism community changed government insurance rules to prohibit this. As a result, doctors and others would find another diagnosis so that the child would be able to receive services. There is no such reason to do so now. I think this explains the increase in diagnoses in the8 past decade.[/quote]
