[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, while I generally agree with all the other posters, I think there’s some value to the dads who are in denial and push back. Because I think a lot of moms are inclined to double down on their kids SNs in a way that is not always healthy. I think there’s often a healthy middle ground that probably falls somewhere between the two parents views on things. As some parents on this forum will tell you (after having gone thru years of this process), there may be good reasons to be skeptical of some of the stuff that gets pushed on parents and sn kids by the whole sn complex, and a lot of us figured out that it was better for our kids and families to step back from some of it. I don’t think the right answer is to deny sns like a lot of dads do, but I think that view can provide an important balance to some moms who get consumed by the sn life. [/quote]

Amen. I’m a dad who “rejected the diagnosis” while still recognizing that our kid had certain needs and some behavioral issues that we needed to work on and I think it worked out very well. I think these big broad diagnoses (in our case autism) often don’t fit individual kids very well and there can be a lot of panic and fear about the worst things associated with them.[/quote]
