[quote=Anonymous]I will also say that some parents in this thread are coming off as resistant to the diagnosis of their child made by a professional perhaps because they don't want to accept it themselves for what it might mean to their own perception of their kid and how it might change their kid's future.  When I got the diagnoses, it didn't fit with my perception of my child.  But looking back through the years, the pieces do add up, I guess I just didn't want to make the connections.

My brother raised his three kids in a religious household and now it turns out their oldest son is gay and all his life he's been teaching them that gay is wrong and goes against the bible.  What kind of damage has he already done to his kid, even though he grew up in a loving home?  It's not the same thing that's happening with these delayed communications of a diagnosis, but it's on a similar spectrum of resistance to who your child is inside.  I know because I did it, too.

We all need to let go and let our kids be who they are and accept them and love them as they are, and let go of our other ideas.  As they are is actually effing amazing if you take a good hard look, I promise you.[/quote]
