(And moreover, it's absolutely a thing that people avoid autism evaluations out of fear of stigma. It took me three years to do it for my own kid. Aggressively reacting to the suggestion of a screening is absolutely related to autism stigma. And for those of us with autistic kids ... yes, this is hard to see.)[/quote]

You are just going to have to accept that assuming everyone is doing this and repeatedly hammering your position is not helpful and is contributing to making this forum less useful than it used to be.

That's not what I intend to do. TBH it would be nice if you would also model empathy here. Autism stigma is real. [/quote]
You may not intend it, but your constant guarding against autism stigma is in fact making DCUM worse.  My kid has autism.  I didn't see anything wrong with "what the hell's" post.  I assume she had the correct assessments and that's the end of it.  As Jeff said, repeatedly hammering 'the diagnosis" does derail many threads.[/quote]
