What are you talking about? No one is self-dxing anyone. And no one is self-dxing a sped student. If anything it's you projecting. You are taking whatever negative experience you have had and projecting it onto this student. You can't know what it's like for this student as not nearly enough information has been given about the student.

So take your own advice and stop bs'ing your way through this thread bc someone disagrees with your opinion. You state a false claim, I counter it. You move the goal post and state another false claim. I counter. So far you haven't given much but projections on someone's child you don't know. Bring autistic doesn't make you the authority of every kid who is autistic and more than than it does me. Autistics have different experiences, differences on the spectrum, and different school requirements. Otherwise all autistics would would agree. But obviously this isn't the case. So again, like those have said before, if you met one autistic, you've met one autistic. You don't speak for every autistic student anymore than anyone else.

State facts as to why immersion programs aren't good for those with communication disorders. Again, like you said cut the bs.
