There are a lot of kids placed inappropriately based on faulty testing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-37051345464527000052013-04-24T21:36:05.706-04:002013-04-24T21:36:05.706-04:00Hi Anonymous -- thanks for your message.

I think the labels are confusing too. I am assuming that autism as a whole is seen as a developmental disability but the researchers are identifying people with autism who don't have low IQs. I realize the whole IQ piece is problematic.<br /><br />THanks for writing!

We know that autism is a spectrum disorder also referred to as a developmental disability. It confuses me when I read that some organizations support individuals with an intellectual disability yet one wonders how this is the same/different from developmental disability. The Ontario Ombudsman Office is investigating the lives of "adults with autism and other developmental disabilities" for example. Labels are very confusing. I've heard that they can also be damaging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-44600006656445658392013-04-23T23:44:13.472-04:002013-04-23T23:44:13.472-04:00This is such an excellent response to the latest &...This is such an excellent response to the latest "studies," Louise, so I posted it on Facebook --Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
