[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't build your life around around your mother's personality disorder. Do what's right for your kid. [/quote]

So someone who works with young children is skeptical of an overused diagnosis and that means they have a personality disorder?  Grandma (who is supposedly the anxious one) is NOT the person who sought out multiple therapists and psychologists for something that "is not causing a lot of issues right now."

I'm not attacking OP.  I'm sure she has her reasons for seeking out this assessment and trusting its results.  But Grandma is being unfairly maligned here.  I am a social worker and an educator and I share some of her concerns.  It's like the cancer patient who only consults a surgeon.  To them, everything looks like a surgery.  These neuro-ed folks can't come back and say that your child is along a spectrum of "normal."[/quote]

OP here. If you must know, DD was previously exhibiting some very concerning behaviors that were severely impairing. In fact, the reason that I fully grasped how serious those behaviors were, was because of my mother who encouraged me to seek help for them. There were multiple therapists and psychologists involved because DD participated in a group therapeutic program and worked individually with one therapist. Thankfully, she has now overcome those behaviors and we are in a very good place. My mother has diagnosed anxiety. So do I. We both take medication for it.[/quote]
