Separating out those with ASD with an intellectual disability from those with ASD without an intellectual disability can more precisely identify factors that influence probability of having a child with ASD as well as factors which can prevent or preclude services. For example, in those without an intellectual disability, there seems to be stronger heritable component. Mothers and fathers with ASD were more likely to have a child with ASD without an ID compared to those with an ID. Also, children of immigrant parents may be missed and lack essential services if they do not have more profound identifiable symptoms like ID. For the sake of better improving research and services for everyone, is it time to stop lumping and start splitting?
I’m not sure why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
I’d also like to mention that most individuals that find themselves with no health insurance are generally students, self-employed and people who are unemployed. More than half in the uninsured are under the age of Thirty-five. They do not think they are needing health insurance since they are young and also healthy. Their own income is frequently spent on homes, food, and also entertainment. A lot of people that do represent the working class either 100 or as a hobby are not supplied insurance by their jobs so they move without as a result of rising valuation on health insurance in the usa. Thanks for the thoughts you discuss through this blog.
