[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like there are a lot of Aspie parents posting here!! So much emphasis on a precise diagnosis.

In my experience, a developing child is a moving target. Diagnoses come and go ASD symptoms are so diverse. Professionals seem to want to stick kids in categories when most don't fit.

I also worry that no one here seems to mention[b] biomedical intervention.[/b] My child recovered with biomedical treatment in addition to speech, social and other therapies.

Yes, we were told our DC would never recover, ASD is "permanent" blah blah blah. Lies all from doctors and other therapists who dismiss what they don't know.

If you saw my kid, you'd never know DC's history. [/quote]

Because they are unproven to work. They are expensive. They can be dangerous. And the truth is that your child would have probably been at the same point now without the "biomedical" treatments. [/quote]

If your child recovered from autism via biomedical, then your child was misdiagnosed and had other issues, such as food allergies or another medical condition.  You do not recover from autism.  You can progress but a form of it will always be there.  Or, like my child, it appeared autism but as he got older all the quirks disappeared as it wasn't autism and a language disorder.  My child was very different at 2-3-4, than he is now and we did not do biomedical. Its impossible to say if the biomedical worked for your child or it was a smoke screen and your kid would have been fine either way. [/quote]
