Autism diagnosis can bring your child a lot more harm than benefits. Your child may benefit a little from professional speech therapy and behavioral therapy, which are usually offered with very limited hours even in special needs schools. However, due to the Autism diagnosis, your child will constantly receive a lot more attention and help from parents, teachers, and classmates. Such special treatment can seriously harm your child in the long term.

At home, Autism diagnosis can easily overwhelm you, cause a lot of stress in your family, and cause you to constantly care for and train your child. As discussed in Change Your Perspectives On Parenting, constant care, attention, training, and entertainment can be very harmful to your child. In addition, Autism diagnosis can cause you to severely lower expectations of your child’s learning and behaviors. However, what your child really, seriously need are higher expectations and tougher training than normal.

At school, receiving a lot more help from teachers and classmates can discourage your child’s own ideas, efforts, and abilities to learn and solve problems. Over time, your child will fall behind in study. Yet everyone can easily blame on your child’s Autism diagnosis and keep expectations of your child’s study and behaviors very low. In addition, it is easy to get an Autism diagnosis, but it is very difficult to get out of an official Autism diagnosis. Consequently, your child’s Autism diagnosis can pass from elementary school to high school. Your child’s prospects of receiving normal training and normal expectations at schools will always be very low. Think about your child basically wastes 7 hours every day at school from Grade 1 to Grade 12. Then how can your child ever get a good grade? How can your child go to a good college?

Furthermore, the special treatment will distort your child’s expectations of relationships with people around him/her. Your child is either the center of attention, or completely left out. This can prevent your child from establishing normal relationships with parents, teachers, and peers. When your child becomes an adult, he/she can have serious relationship problems.

Consequently, it is advised NOT to get an Autism assessment or diagnosis. If your child already has an Autism diagnosis, get rid of all your child’s typical Autism symptoms first. Then you may have to pay several thousands of dollars to get rid of the Autism diagnosis. If unsuccessful, move to another country, where your child’s Autism diagnosis will not transfer. If you are moving, choose a home with a lot of trees nearby. The trees can nourish your spirit and your child’s spirit to feel and function better.
