[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was diagnosed at 7 and we told her. We took younger DS in for an evaluation a few years later and received the same diagnosis for him but we didn’t tell him or anyone else for that matter because how the school and her peers treated my daughter was really harmful to her quality of life. DS is now 21, in college, was his class valedictorian, has a great group of friends and great girlfriend and is really happy. DD is doing well too, but has long term PTSD and social anxiety issues due to the trauma and bullying she experienced from her peers because of the diagnosis. [/quote] You are oversimplifying. Anyone with two kids knows there are a zillion differences in their experience of the same thing. Beyond the difference in knowing the diagnosis, your kids had these differences: Gender Temperament Time (a few years can be huge in the culture of a school) More experienced parents[/quote]
