[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, he has friends at work, so we know he can be employed and maintain social networks. He is also capable of going off to college. The question now becomes what will this diagnosis do for him. College is a big step and developing friendships is hard on everyone. Will this help him make friends? Will it give him anxiety over social situations? Will it shut him down before he even gets a chance? He already has a label he is comfortable with, will this new one add a level
of understanding that improves his life or will he get hung up brooding over another handicap. If this were his first diagnosis after a pattern of behavior that needed guidance then of course you would welcome it. But it doesn't sound as though it's that strong a conclusion. Are you deliberately downplaying the validity of this or is this really just one prognosis with little testing to backnit up?[/quote]
I'm not down playing the validity. It's just too little to late to be of much good IMO.
