What Are The Advantages To Getting An Official Diagnosis?
My preschool/kindergarten-aged children have numerous ASD traits, and I am convinced that they are on the spectrum. Is there any advantage to getting an official diagnosis?

The advantage: you'll get the services you need for your child. The con, your child will get labeled. But if they really need the help, get the diagnosis.
