[QUOTE="SRL, post: 309117, member: 701"] I have to think there's another way to think of it besides a "lie". I've run into plenty of people online whose children sound very much like they have Autism from the descriptions they give or from a medical diagnosis, who choose to call it something else because they truly don't believe their child has Autism. (maybe hyperlexia, or gifted and quirky, etc). When pushed into a situation when it's really necessary--such as getting the child insurance coverage or school services--those same parents will on paper go along with the Autism diagnosis just to jump through the hoops and get the kid what they need.
