[quote=Anonymous]He's in 10th grade, so it wouldn't be at all odd for the therapist to discuss this with him and get his input. My child was also a late diagnosis, though it was on our radar for years most evaluators and therapists didn't think there was enough there to pursue, but one consistently did. We didn't bother for a long time because there was no practical value, but once he was a teen we thought it might open some doors to resources for socializing and transition to adulthood. My son didn't have a dedicated therapist at that point, so I asked him what he thought. He was like "Oh yeah, I probably have that." He is discouraged by his struggles, but he's not upset that they are called "autism". If anything, it helps him understand that his struggles are brain-based.[/quote]
