[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't turn this into some big family secret.  This is medical information about your son, that he deserves to know.  If he disagrees with the diagnosis, he can always find a different doc to review the evaluation. [/quote]
I can guarantee he will disagree with it, I know he will.[/quote]

So what? It's information. It's information about him. He doesn't need to agree with it. He just ought to have it. Because informed people make better decisions than people who have been kept ignorant. [/quote]

Amen!! I can't believe you would even consider this!!! He is 17 not 7. You must tell him. If you don't tell him and I was the dr who diagnosed him I would be sure to mark you DS's 18th birthday on my calendar and give him a call to let me know.[/quote]
That would be great because I would sue your ass. [/quote]

In fact, it's not medical information. This psychologist made the diagnosis based on report cards??!! This is not a diagnosis. It's an opinion. No, you should not tell your son this based on that. I think your gut is right. Just keep helping him build that confidence and it sounds like he's heading in a good direction. Good for you for all you did to help get him there![/quote]
