Don't get caught up in the labels they mean noting. Some parents take refuge in the "non" autism but ASD label. I have some relatitives who have an ADD/ASD child. They are in denial about autism fearing the label as a death sentence to little progress. You actually can gain better treatments and access with an autism label. I've head of kids who after intensive therapy and progress aren't labelled autistic anymore and then they lose all of their services and eligibility.
