[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]

You would sue a doctor for disclosing medical information about an adult to that adult?

If your husband went to the doctor and got a diagnosis, would you sue that doctor too?

He's going to be an adult.  As an adult, he is entitled to know what's in his medical records.  You can tell him that you disagree with it, and why, but hiding information isn't really an option any more.

If something comes up at college, and he needs accommodations, he'll need to submit his own medical records.  Which means he'll be able to read them.  Would you really prefer that he finds this out when he's struggling and far from home?[/quote]
