please don’t. there’s no real test for autism. everyone with a little quirk is “on the spectrum”, and I don’t want to pay for it.
deal with your offspring and don’t have any more
I don’t remember any kids who were “non-verbal” when I was growing up, nor do I remember any of the head-banging or kids wearing ear muffs.
Something in the environment has definitely changed and it’s not iPads or anything like that because it starts too early in life.
If you ever work around these kids you realize something is going terribly wrong, and it cannot be just genetics because you cannot have a sudden, worldwide genetic epidemic (the United States is not alone in finding an increased diagnosis rate, it’s even higher in some other countries).
