[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 558721, member: 1550"] In one article I read, it said that parents of very impaired kids wanted their kids to get the services rather than having the "marginal" kids have them by the way. If somebody can work, ace school, has friends, etc...but are a bit quirky, in my opinion they aren't disabled. They are not going to take the label away from anyone who already has it. These are for the newly diagnosed. If they have "traits" it seems they will be labeled with "communication disorder" or just plain old ADHD. I've seen some very imparied kids labeed Aspergers and always felt it was a "feel good" diagnosis. for some kids who really need the supports. Now, like Sonic, they will have to accept the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) label in order to get supports and, later, community supports. [/QUOTE]
