My son was just given an educational diagnosis for autism. He is very high functioning (not sure what level.) I'm curious, how important is it to get a medical diagnosis as well? (We will, of course, fill his pediatrician in on the educational diagnosis.)Thanks, all!
Edit: Please note that I am not at all against a medical diagnosis whatsoever. I wasn't sure if he would need further therapy or the benefits of a medical diagnosis. I see that now. We just happened to start with the school district and this is very new for us (we just found out a few weeks ago.) I'm trying to learn all I can, so please be patient with me.
If you ever decide you want to seek outside service from the school district you will need medical diagnosis in order for the insurance to cover the additional services or approve the services. The school diagnosis is only good for the school district. You always definitely want to have both because you never know when you might need it
