[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to wonder how your DC will process the diagnosis. My teen (16) definitely feels a stigma w/ it and lets it define her. DX based on black/white thinking[/quote] OP here. Definitely a concern. We've talked about autism positively his whole life because of his brother's diagnosis, but still -- his brother is frustrating in some ways related to autism so I don't know how that would play out. OTOH, as a pp said, it might be reassuring to have an explanation for why some things are hard (that understanding has been very helpful for the older kid).[/quote]
