Many parents are shocked and frustrated when a child has a medical diagnosis of autism but does not qualify for Autism services at school. This episode breaks down why that disconnect exists by clearly explaining the educational eligibility criteria used by schools in Texas, without clinical jargon or DSM language. Parents will walk away with clarity on what schools are legally required to evaluate, what “educational impact” really means, and why a diagnosis alone does not automatically trigger services. The goal is understanding, not dismissal—and empowerment, not confusion.
