Also, there's been a lot of promising research done in the past decade, new, improved types of interventions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early evaluation and Dx. I think kids diagnosed today have a better chance of good outcomes than kids from the previous generation.[/quote]

A good portion of the kids who lost their diagnosis had NO behavioral therapy, though.[/quote]

I know. For some reason, just like NT kids, some ASD kids develop coping skills much better than others; but losing the diagnosis without therapy happens very rarely, doesn't it? Most kids with optimal outcome have intensive early intervention. [/quote]
