[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a spin-off of an important question asked on another current thread

I can see the arguments for both being over-vigilant of SN issues (often attributed to moms, although not always the case), and for being completely ignorant (often attributed to dads, although, again, not always the case).

How do you reconcile and do what is best for the child? I am a mom in this scenario and I fear that SN issues that I think I see are discipline/parenting issues my DH claims to be a problem.

If you were in a similar situation, and with knowing that misdiagnosis is always possible, how did you reconcile the two opposing opinions? Did therapist doing the neuropsychological evaluation help you with this?[/quote] One of my sons went to a weekly social skills group run by a LCSW. I saw her two or three times a year to go over a few things.  I had a list for each of my children and for me.  She helped me prioritize things.  Some things she said, don’t worry it will come. Some things were - this is important to tackle first or second. Some were that is just the way he is and you are it going to change it.  She was a great sounding board.  [/quote]
