Why Is It Hard To Get Others To Believe Your Child Most Likely Has Autism? (Wait Listed For A Screening In Our State)
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I work in early childhood education and while we can’t diagnose we can screen and refer. I did our screenings on my daughter and with the results consulted for a screening and have been placed on a wait list. Unfortunately in our area the wait list is almost 2 years long. I am struggling to get support from those around us as it’s hard for them to believe she would have autism. My parents especially, I know it’s contributing to outdated views. Any advice?
