[quote=Anonymous]I think many of the rah rah posters are misunderstanding what is fundamentally at work here. OP's DC needs something. The question is what. I'm in favor of diagnoses if they apply because they clarify whats going and give kids a tool to advocate for what they need throughout their lives. My DS has an ASD -- knowing this has been a tremendous benefit. BUT, I can see some people are offended by diagnoses and of course there may not be a diagnosis. But there clearly is a problem.

OP, I say put down your dukes and get someone who can give your DS an evaluation that identifies what will help him. It can be descriptive and not a diagnosis. But if you are trying to find someone to fit some sort of argumentative or ideological goal, you are taking your eye off the ball. He's having some issues, how can you help him.  Thats all that matters.

Your anger is off-putting and will keep the school from wanting to help. They don't have to, he's in a private school. You haven't answered the question of why he's there and why you aren't looking elsewhere. Thats the answer. You want a child who is happy and learning? Find a school that will deliver that. Instead of railing against the whole wide world and his school, fix the situation.[/quote]
