The orignal post was from me about someone who I met the week before Christmas

who was listing off everything *wrong* with her 6 year old and his special ed

classes in school and how, when I asked her what was wrong, said that the dr

told her he had autistic tendancies and was on the autistic spectrum but was NOT

autistic. My question, more or less, what what sort of bullshit dx was that.

I really think that this woman would be better off and able to deal with things

if someone looked at her and said 'Your son is autistic' where she doesn't have

to go through this F'ed up explination when she talks about her son (where

people don't look at her weird) and where she can get the services that he

really needs and a placement in school that is going to benifit him.

Someone suggested that maybe the dr said that he was PDD-NOS and that it wasn't

" real " autism.

Theoretically anyone can rationalize anything.

The more I think about it, the more I think her dr is just an idiot and it is

the dr that has her believing that it isn't really autism. I think someone

tried to sugar coat something and fed her a line of crap.

Just wish that I could have talked to her more without Jayme butting in.

Iknow I suggested the Dr said PDD-NOS and she was probably grasping at that

as not being autism. I think that it would be easy to do that, if someone

were in real denial. Sad, but I think she could convince herself PDD-NOS

wasn't autism. :-(
