2shoes: you didn't make a mistake with the name, it was completely deliberate. Don't be so childish; the two names appeared within about five words of each other. It was a really childish attempt to accuse of trolling and lying.
I don't think it's laughable: but then, it's my money that's being stolen that I work really, really, really hard for. Perhaps when it isn't your money then you don't mind so much if people nick it, and don't mind telling people to get the whole thing into perspective.
Are you sure you want to continue to defend and even justify liars and scroungers?
I don't limit it or even think the greater part is with ASD children. I don't know why you suggest that. The most part might well be with adults and bad backs or whatever. You have taken this part and run with it because of your personal involvement.
Re: over diagnosis. This is really difficult - I really do believe there has been a huge explosion in autism, I think it's real, I don't think it's made up, I think it's stretching parents and services to breaking point. However on top of that I also believe that there has been over-diagnosis - that's just about inevitable with such an explosion of a disorder with variant criteria and a booming industry of diagnosis. Before you leap up in fake outrage, I don't mean I think your own children are wrongly Dx'ed - it is perfectly possible to believe it of some children and not of all children. Also I do know children who have been diagnosed with ASD - associated disorders who were nothing of the sort.
For the record I also understand there is some "under" diagnosis or delay in diagnosis, via attempts to push the responsibility away from health to education to social services.
Yes, I have definite ideas about how to help poorer (not DLA receivers) people and they don't involve giving more money: they mainly involve giving them a better education, a much better education - an education they were denied by the last government.
