Disagree. Diagnosis is the only tool for properly handling behavioral issues. Diagnoses are more common because more people are getting tested.
- mwigdahl 3y agoSo to be clear, you are saying that all behavior issues result from medical causes?

- MisterBastahrd 3y agoDiagnosis is in fact NOT the only tool for properly handling behavioral issues and absolutely never has been, because most children are neither autistic nor on the spectrum. Kids are enrolling in classes today with more behavioral and aptitude issues than ever before because their parents aren't raising them with any real structure. The autistic kids get hurt even worse because they NEED that structure more than regular kids, but millennial parents in particular have largely decided that their kids' school issues are for schools to deal with.
