You're going to making him read this thread, right, OP?

Please consider that one reason your husband may be stubborn about this is that he may have the same diagnoses himself. This is the situation in my family. Both DH and DS have ADHD/ASD. It took MANY years for my husband to understand that just because he survived without childhood diagnoses or treatments or accommodations, it doesn't mean that our child has to suffer the same fate. It's not "what doesn't kill you make you stronger". It's "how can I not traumatize this child too much and get him the best tools to make progress?"

Now in this particular instance, disclosing might not change anything. But it's a safeguard in the event something does happen, so that the staff is aware of your child's possible reactions, and is prepared to behave in way that will cause the least amount of conflict and misunderstandings.

Now is the time to disclose. When he's a teen, he might have his own wishes about disclosure. [/quote]
