I heard that in the USA professionals, carers, parents, people with ASD's and their families all give their input in the same room, all their opinions.

I like the American AS approach. In the UK there is far too much inolvement from parents.

Are you talking about in relation to schooling, diagnosis, what?

I'm in the UK, but meetings/diagnosis/support etc all seem to vary enormously depending on where you live, even which part of a city you live in. Seems to be a similar experience in the US.
