I don't mind A&F bashing, but it'd be nice to keep the bashing grounded in facts.

Yeah - it actually would have been "ludicrous" for A&F to
not have an independent evaluation once the lawsuit was initiated ... I mean, it's completely insane to think they'll simply take the family's word at it when they're facing down pretty series accusations.
The family's (apparent and purported) interest in fighting against similar discrimination against those with autism comes with a price, and part of that price is proving that their daughter does indeed fall within the autism spectrum as they've claimed.
