Yes: Although an official diagnosis is not needed to start necessary therapies do not be afraid of a label. Some therapies like aba, which are very helpful, are not covered without an official diagnosis. Other services, like respite care or grants and other funding may not be accessible without it. If social security is needed for long term care it will also be necessary.
