" This concerns me as well. Many many insurance companies and places of employment do not have mental coverage. This is one reason my husband quit one job and had to find another. Our daughter was considered to be struggling with a mental disorder not Autism. Her undiagnosed seizures were seen as panic attacks and were not being treated properly. We had to see five neurologists before they took us seriously and put her on the proper medication to stop the seizures. So much of that was not covered. It was a nightmare.<BR/><BR/>We searched for a diagnosis of Autism in order to pay for her medical care. It was terrible. Now, she also has been diagnosed with a chromosome disorder and that has helped with coverage as well. <BR/><BR/>Also, in schools the children are not treated the same if diagnosed with mental disorders compared to Autism. Possibly, that is not the way it should be but that is the way it worked with our daughter. Until we had that diagnosis we found it impossible to get good help in the schools. What a mess.<BR/><BR/>So, you raise a very important subject here.Marla https://www.blogger.com/profile/03926898159751613267noreply@blogger.com
