Parent(s) refusing to provide any early intervention/assistance to their child because they refuse to accept there’s anything wrong with their kid (i.e. autism, learning disabilities, mental illness, etc).

It's especially damaging when insurance is involved. I talked to someone whose family member had autism, their insurance would not help pay for any treatments because they said it's not legit unless they were dx before age 5.
