[QUOTE="keista, post: 433029, member: 11965"] I heard mention of this before. Like said in the article Asperger's is a god "entryway" into the acceptance of autism - making it easier for ppl and parents to deal with a diagnosis. Schools and insurance, and SSI and others in my opinion have jsut recently begun catching up to the term Asperger's. Son's IEP only a few years ago had it put on. Before that it was "other Health impaired" Because while Autism was a disability, Asperger's was not????????? Ultimately A rose by any other name smells as sweet. I'm already called upon by friends and family and the school, to help parents transition into an Asperger's diagnosis - I help them see the wondrous magical gifts and thinking their child possess and that IEPs can be a GOOD thing. Think it'll just be a bit more difficult when it's all called AUTISM. Which really is funny since once over the hump of accepting diagnosis, it's just so much easier to tell ppl Autism - if they are confused then you go into details. [/QUOTE]
