I'm a psychologist with an autistic child. A new diagnostic aid leaves me conflicted.

4. Mine wasn't diagnosed until 15

so what ya complaining about? Seriously, I had to basically come out and say, "Well, I think he's probably autistic. Do YOU?" Never mind he'd been to assorted doctors and psychologists and whatnot since he was 3 and bounced in and out of special ed classes and at that point was in a classroom environment where he patently did NOT belong. I could even point to specific medical instances that had made his condition demonstrably worse, but nobody listened. So I am not at all convinced of this "new method" being much more than junk science.
