[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:12 you must be the same person posting on the other thread about how ADHD doesn't exist either.  You are being spectacularly unsupportive and ignorant.  My DS, BTW, is 11 and he would have Aspergers whether or not I stuck the label on his forehead.

Before we had "labels" these kids were still autistic, but instead of therapies and understanding they had bullying and failure.  I have family members who cannot function in society because of the lack of "labels."  Because back then no one understood why they are the way they are and what they needed.  Yes, life was lovely before "labels."

People with Aspergers have elevated rates of depression and suicide and i will not, will not let my DS grow up to face any of that, that feeling of shame, created and perpetuated by people like you who have no idea what you are talking about.

My DS is happy, has friends and is thriving.  He knows he has Aspergers, everyone knows he has Aspergers, for the most part no one cares.  It isn't a label, its something he understands about himself, and frankly, finds fairly boring most of the time.

How dare you say that I am not seeing my child as "bright, sensitive . . .with a lot to offer."  Shame on you for your insults.[/quote]

Right On!![/quote]
