[quote=Anonymous]22:12 - Honestly?  Are you doubting this child is different or just upset about the attention given to it?  I would love to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you are concerned about the effect a "label" might have on the child's psychological health.  Because it would be ridiculous if you are annoyed that a child's parents are looking for the right school environment for their child.   That's what we are ALL doing!

Do note - that just because the parents have a diagnosis they are mentioning here in this board - it doesn't mean they are "outwardly labeling" their child in public.  It means they are using the language necessary to find other parents who have faced the same issue in a school search.  For all you know, they have never said one word to - or in front - of their child RE "the label".  I would bet that instead, at such a young age, they do their best to make their child feel loved, comfortable and happy in everyday life.

Just like the rest of us, they want their child to be happy - and to be in an environment that allows them to learn both academic and social skills.  Believe it or not - for some parents this is more complicated of a puzzle to solve.  So instead of being critical, maybe you should be thankful your search is less complicated.
