#122: ARE AUTISM TESTS & DIAGNOSIS ACCURATE? BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS
-
- Parenting
Here's a crazy real-life example that will make you question the screening and tests like DSM-5 and ADOS.
What would you do if someone locked up to your child because of a diagnosis that shouldn't ever have been given?
Horrific, right.
Get this...
If a diabetic has severe hypoglycemia - that person looks like a drunk. In some instances - diabetics have been arrested because of "drunk" behaviour caused by hypoglycemia. If that person isn't examined by someone who knows about diabetes and the underlying cause for this behaviour... It can have fatal consequences.
EXPERTISE in UNDERLYING root causes is CRUCIAL because without it, we can ruin someone's life, health and future...
We wouldn't send a child with a broken leg to a brain expert, would we?
Yet...we're sending children with physical, biological, mitochondrial, neurological, and immune-related problems to psychiatrists or behaviour analysts to diagnose our children....
They are given a diagnosis that will affect them for life and change their future without knowing that the expert aren't looking at root cause problems that can be addressed (and affect the symptoms.)
In today's short-form Q & A podcast episode I am answering the question:
Are autism tests accurate?
When I found the answer AFTER my son was diagnosed I was both shocked and angry...
Here are 3 ways we can start turning autism symptoms around together, whenever you're ready...
1. Send me a voice message and get my feedback on your most pressing struggles.
2. Check out the free video series "The 5 hidden messages behind autism symptoms" and find your child's unique triggers.
3. Work with me privately
If you’d like to work with me directly to turn as many symptoms around as possible in my Autism Turnaround Coaching and implementation group..send me an email with "coaching" in the subject line and tell me how old your child is. I’ll get you all the details.
