[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589411, member: 1550"] I get tired of saying "I agree with you, IC." :) Actually it makes a great deal of difference. Although the acommodations MAY be the same, and I'm not sure he'd get any Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) accomodations if he is labeled as emotionally disturbed (what the hello does THAT mean anyway????), he will be seen by his teachers as "bad" rather than differently wired. And if he needs any Special Education they will probably put him in the behaviorally disturbed class, which is a class I would never want my kid in for any reason. Unfortunately, the schools tend not to hire the best and brightest diagnosticians. I'd fight the ED label. The ED label certainly won't help him with, say, Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) will and if he does something wrong the teachers will think, "Well, of course. He's the crazy one" instead of "he has autism." Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
