Ahh... the old ‘my child is autistic’ excuse.

“Autism is such a complex disorder. It is easily misdiagnosed,” said Allen, a speech and language pathologist with Henry Ford Health System.

If someone says their child has autism, you have no basis to dispute it. The outward symptoms can be severely obvious to quite imperceptible. No self-styled expert can clinically diagnose a mental malady it on the spot! Ridiculous. Autism IS complex and the term encompasses a spectrum of disorders that have some commonality. I know, because my grown son is autistic. Anyone that denies that autism exists is ignorant of medical facts.

For a large part, ‘autism’ does not exist.

There are genuine cases, but mostly it is an excuse for poor behaved children and poor parenting.

It is a national scam used by schools to get more federal dollars for students with behavioral and educational deficiencies.

As soon as someone labels their child as ‘autistic’, they are open to receive benefits and an excuse card for anything their child does because they have a ‘disability’ which is covered by federal ADA law.
