[quote=Anonymous]NP here, I am following this thread with interest. My question is: if a kid is functioning fine, is there value in seeking a diagnosis? DD10 has a lot of sensory stuff that is kind of on the edge of normal - sensitivity to noise, which she's largely outgrown; chewing and sensitivity to fabrics, which she hasn't. An excellent student, but anxious about breaking rules and annoyed by other people breaking rules. Lots of friends and social confidence. So some things are quirky but nothing is "wrong." Her dad has pretty obvious undiagnosed ADD, and I have anxiety. I've read that girls don't get diagnosed because they compensate. But if she's compensating (if she even is) in non-harmful ways ... does it need to be explored? [/quote]
