[quote=Anonymous]If you care about the child, remain in his life. Diagnosis is not the important thing, especially for someone not in his immediate family. Constant support is. I would also avoid symptom/diagnosis checklists because they are so general and vague that almost anyone with "behavior problems" fits into them. In fact, I can make myself fit into most ASD/ADHD symptom checklists and I'm sure that as a teenager with bad behavior I fit quite a few more. What's important here, if you truly want to help this kid, is communication, inclusion, friendship, and time -- lots of time -- spent with this child talking. Are you willing to do that, OP?[/quote]
