I am wondering if the "out grow it" idea is similar to what folks say about ADHD - that many adults outgrow it. The research in the ADHD realm says that adults often learn compensatory strategies, but the underlying difficulty is still there.
Isn't this what early intervention is about - teaching the person the skills and strategies needed to have an easier time of it?
Unfortunately - I have often run into situations at the HS level where students with diagnosis such as AS or LD have worked so hard and become so successful at developing compensatory strategies that institutions pull the supports and services claiming a cure and lack of need. But, this is an entirely different topic.....
