Yes, some are misdiagnosed but to say these disorders do not exist baffles me.

I believe that 90% of add, adhd, and odd are misdiagnosed and should be considered more of a sypmtom to a greater cause. autism however I think is real but I think there is such a thing as being toooo high functioning autistic (aka.. normal)

 The children deserve it. It

It's not like a lot of other programs the government pays for would meet other people's approval. This just happens to be a popular one. I wonder if we know all the government spends money on.

So??? The government should fund that why exactly?

Parents claim disabilities for the money. Ssi instead of a job--woohoo!

 My son has sensory processing disorder. No ssi.


Btw, those who have kids with autism need the money for their kids. It can be expensive. I know just ours for our kid isn't cheap. He has speech therapy and occupational therapy.

sadly, no they wouldnt, they would tell you your kid is just a brat and you need to disipline him more
people who say they dont exist will never admit they're wrong, no matter how much evidence is persented

btw, not saying your kid is a brat, just that that is what THEY would say


Quoting briansmommy2010:

I agree. My DS has SPD, and sees a developmental pedi next month (and then another one in June) to be tested for autism, and we are almost positive he is going to get a diagnosis.



If any of those women who claim these disorders don't exist were to spend one day with my son, I'm sure they would change their minds.

I think it's all fake because parents would rather medicate than parent. Raising kids is hard, so lets give them a fucking complex and medication for it.


My dd is diagnosed with ASD and also ADD. Never been medicated. Still very much autistic and has major issues with attention. If it gets much worse, i'd be a horsehit parent to sit by as she suffers.

You know not of which you speak.
Signed, diagnosed with ADD as an adult, currently medicated.

No children do not deserve to be handed $700 a month to support themselves, that is the parents job.  It needs to go back to the way it was years ago, you did not get ssi for a child unless they where severely sick (pretty much bedridden) or terminal, not because a kid can't look you in the eyes, throws temper fits and does not like certain foods.  This entitlement shit is why the United States is in the situation it is.

Insurance doesn't always cover all of the therapies that an autistic child may need, and not everybody has a job that offers insurance. I know one parent that gets SSI for her autistic child, and the main reason she even applied was for the insurance so he could keep getting help after he turned 3 and aged out of early intervention.

bullshit medical covers all the therapies and any medication.  What does an autisic kid need that mine don't?

I think alot of these disorders are over and mis diagnsosed. But to tell a parent o a chilod that you simply dont belive and need to parent better is just plain stupid. Try telling me that after spending a day or two with my oldest and then tell me hes "normal" and dont have pdd-nos or anything else.
