It's because there's a large wedge of people out there who use autism as a trendy diagnosis for their child so they can feel like they matter, much like ADD was used in the 90s.
If you take the non verbal and you lift them higher with a treatment, it means their close to normal children should also show signs of improvement - but they won't. And also, they can't improve because then the parent won't be special anymore.
Yes, that can happen.
It's a terrible thing to withhold treatment like that just to preserve the parents' identity.
The lies about their identity are all they have because they believe that supporting your spouse and kids is a heinous subjugation.
