I have a Masters in Special Education and spent a number opf years in social work. I can testify from firsthand experience that doctors will ask a social worker what diagnosis is required in order to get a child into a therapy program. This is a funding issue, not a scientific or medical problem.

"...I can testify from firsthand experience that doctors will ask a social worker what diagnosis is required in order to get a child into a therapy program. This is a funding issue, not a scientific or medical problem."

I can see where that may happen occasionally, but to state unilaterally that this is a funding issue rather than a scientific or medical problem shows that you have no first hand knowledge of living with a child with autism.

Worth repeating!
