[quote=Anonymous]My college kid would probably get a diagnosis if we asked the right person and we picked the right day. I just don’t see any real benefit in the diagnosis at this point. She is who she is and she knows who she is. We have tried to work on some specific things like sensory sensitivity that impact her social experience and health …. I do wish I’d done more of that but that’s a separate issue from the diagnosis. I can see the benefit if the kid is struggling with why they are a certain way I guess. I do think it would likely need to be disclosed on certain applications like government clearances, bar applications, medical history etc. I just don’t know the implications of that. I’m also a little nervous that the aca rules about preexisting conditions might go away at some point and then everything you’ve ever been diagnosed with will be used against you. So I’m not sure about the “there’s no downside.” [/quote]
