HOWEVER---it has become the 'diagnosis du jour' meaning that there are too many people saying ' well, there is nothing we can do for Johnny & Janie, so this ( being the dx of autism) MUST be the answer. One mom holes up w/ her child and watches TV until the husband get home...and then wonders why the child is into EVERYTHING--Another mom is so centered on her older child's high school, that the little boy gets passed up for for outings w/ the parents ( sorry, we have to Charlies football/basketball/baseball/awards ceremony) and again wonders why the child acts out...Susie is not paying attention is pre-school; that MUST be the reason.. I am NOT saying that autism isnt a real condition, but like 'conditions', if all avenues are exhausted BEFORE jumping the gun, we wouldnt have so many 'autistic' children ( meaning the ones that just wont behave but fall into something like the category mentioned above).. but what do I know?
