I didn't get a chance to read the parent posting before it was killed. Are we, his parents worried that labeling might do harm? Sure. But, we're a lot more worried that not taking preventative/corrective action would be a lot worse.
Our son is attending our public school's early intervention pre-school program (fantastic, btw), and we're sending him to private speech therapy and are considering other interventions.
Diagnosis wise, I agree with your view. Why not HFA or PDD-Nos? There's definitely something wrong though -- he shows little interest in playing with other children, physically cringes when there's lots of noise/confusion, and does a bunch of other stuff that strongly suggests an autism spectrum disorder.
