The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder has systematically risen since Kanner's description in 1943 and Asperger's definition in 1944. An increase in numbers has met with an increase in litigation regarding autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA). Outcomes that first favored parents (2002-2004) have moved to outcomes favoring school districts. The authors update the reader on case outcomes for 2010 and discuss how pending changes in legislation and diagnostic criteria may impact navigation through the education system as individuals seek a free appropriate public education (FAPE) and placement in the least restrictive environment (LRE).
自 1943 年坎纳(Kanner)描述自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)和 1944 年阿斯伯格(Asperger)定义以来,自闭症谱系障碍的诊断率一直在系统上升。自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的数量增加,以及与《残疾人教育法》(IDEA)相关的诉讼也在增加。最初有利于家长的结果(2002-2004 年)已转变为有利于学区的结果。作者为读者更新了 2010 年的案件结果,并讨论了立法和诊断标准的待决变化如何影响个人寻求免费适当公共教育(FAPE)和在最不限制环境(LRE)中安置时在教育系统中的导航。
