[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously OP, get over yourself. Every person on this board has been through what you're going through. Most of us work full time, in demanding jobs that are not very family friendly. Many of us have other kids to deal with as well. I get that you're pissed of that you don't get to have the perfect life with the perfect kid, but you're a grown-up. It sucks, yes. But the sooner you accept your reality, the easier it will be on your kid.

There is no manual. We all have to wade through the process. Often, getting a diagnosis takes months, even years. But it is your JOB to seek out whatever experts necessary to diagnose and treat your child. Make the appointments and go to them with an open mind. The goal is to help your son in whatever way necessary so he can live up to his full potential. It may take doctors, and eventually many interventions.....or it may not. But right now, you are doing yourself, and especially your son a major disservice with your hostile attitude.

We are on this board dealing with kids that are 'less than perfect.' That doesn't mean they're not fantastic kids who can achieve many of their goals, and our goals for them. But the notion of perfect kid is something you need to part with, regardless of any diagnosis you receive. [/quote]

Thanks, I'll just get over myself.  Super helpful.[/quote]
