I have a friend who has a 3 year old toddler who doesn't verbally communicate. This along with many other signs are pointing to the little fella having autism.

The kid and parents absolutely need that diagnosis to get the help and support they need as that kid develops.

Now maybe with support he can 'shed' that diagnosis as you say. But that isn't going to happen if he is treated as a normal kid. The support needs to happen now. Just like anything else that a baby, toddler or kid is struggling with.
