    Name: Gina Agosta on Jan 21, 2012

    Comments: I have 3 children with ASD, one mild, one moderate and one maximum severe and placed in a group home. Even my adult child who is mild has such social deficits and anxiety that put her life at a stand still. Without supports and assistance this population will deteriorate. They may become homeless, starve, wind up in jail, or be seriously abused. This has to be a political ploy considering the way our government is being run. I am suspicious of these psychiatrists who can cause mass harm to such a vulunerable population.

    Comments: My son is Autistic and I think this is very wrong! No insurance even covers the only treatment proven to help Autistic kids and us parents have to pay it out of are pockets! It cost 5,400 a month! And now your trying to take this away from my son? My son can not even be in a normal class at school because of his issues and now your going to make it even harder for him to make it in life? That is so wrong!

    Comments: I agree...re defining the word does not change the diagnosis nor does it make it go away. There may seem to be an epidemic, but in reality it's just being diagnosed sooner than ever before, which is a very good thing because there is so much than can be done to help children who are diagnosed at a young age. No one WANTS to hear their child has autism, it's not something they hope for.....GET REAL PEOPLE!

    Comments: To change it's title does nothing but make a cop out for helping others who need the help too. There should be no change to the present way it is done now. Thank you for listening.

    Comments: I have a child thats Autistic and we already have to face many battles getting him the help he needs! And now yall are trying to take his diagnosis away?? Im sorry but for kids with Autsim, their medical care is more important then the numbers the government wants to have because their is an epidemic of Autism. Quit trying to hide our issues and help us parents who have kids like this, not try to take it away from them! Yall dont even know what its like to be a parent of a child with Autism! Our insurance is BCBS and they dont even pay for my Sons ABA therapy ($5,400 a month), is Occupational Therapy ($80 a month) and Speech Therapy ($320.oo a month). That doesnt even cover the medicines he has to have just to function to be able to go to school like a normal child!

    Comments: With how far my son has come with the help of his team of therapists BECAUSE of his diagnosis, he would likely fall into the high functioning category. Just because he's made great progress doesn't make him LESS autistic. This is horrifying to me, that my son could lose the ability to have these therapies, and that other children who need them as badly as he did might never be able to GET them. Changing the name doesn't change the child. Our children deserve better.
