[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 550878, member: 1233"] I think this Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) s among the group of people who feel that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis's are being handed out willy-nilly and it isn't a "real" disease/disorder, just something some parents and docs created to excuse their kids' bad behavior. Trust me, I do NOT think or feel that it is true, but I have run into a LOT of people who feel that something is overprescribed and does not exist. I find it sad when it is a person trained to help children, but I am not surprised by it very often. I cannot tell you how many tdocs told us that Wiz was not an Aspie and that he did not have adhd or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but instead he was 'spoiled' and 'arrogant'. Wiz very well may have been arrogant and spoiled at times, but he was also an Aspie - they are NOT mutually exclusive! I would follow your instincts. Push if they say to push, and ignore people who are speaking on topics they do not understand. in my opinion this Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is not qualified to tell you or anyone else if a child is autistic or has other problems except for problems relating to Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and then only on people she has tested and worked with.
