[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 542898, member: 10"] Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis is a lot better than other diagnosis as it talks about lagging skills , where most other diagnoses just describe the behaviors , what the child is doing and not the underlying factors. Dr Greene still says that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) tells us that the kid is in the park , but we don't know where his feet are. When we review the ALSUP list of assessed lagging skills - see the livesinthebalnce.org site and make a list of unsolved problems in great detail , then start working on problems by involving the kid - his concerns and perspectives , problem solving etc to find durable mutually satisfying solutions. We have to move beyond diagnoses and work on the actual problems. Diagnoses have their use , maybe medications and the medication route is not a pleasant merry-go--around, accomodations and funding etc . There is a feeling , that if I had an accurate diagnosis, there would be progress. Unfortunately according to Dr Greene we must acknowledge how much a diagnosis can buy and it is not much. Taking a RDI approach , diagnoses describe behaviors and don't talk about missing developmental milestones or as Dr Greene says lagging skills Allankatz-parentingislearning [/QUOTE]
