[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell him, and have support ready to help him come to terms with the diagnosis. The whole reason you got to this diagnosis was because your son was struggling and unhappy, and not telling him isn't going to change that. It can be hard to have a label, but understanding why you struggle is a huge part of figuring out what kind of help you need to work with your challenges and be happy.[/quote] This. But that's assuming that the diagnosis is accurate. I would have a hard time trusting a diagnosis if it came without the kind of assessment that would be obvious to a 17 year old.[/quote] OP here, I questioned why we should blindly believe what this psychologist says when others have said he does not have it. He says he suspected from the start and now viewing the childhood report cards solidified it. He also said he wants to apologize to my son because the system failed him. WTF!!![/quote]
