[quote=Anonymous]I have a child with ASD/ADHD combined type. He has had the ASD diagnosis since preK and the ADHD diagnosis since 2nd grade. Has had an IEP since preK. DS is currently in 5th grade, an excellent student, fully mainstreamed. DS has never had academic issues, tests above grade level in all areas, has 5s in PARCC, and his IEP has mostly addressed social communication issues... so if only grades and testing are concerned, he would have done ok without a diagnosis that may impact his getting a security clearance when he is an adult;) But DS likes school, has friends, is self confident with good esteem, no anxiety, etc and is a happy kid - I attribute a lot of it to the fact that he has had a diagnosis since he started school and gotten the (mainly social) supports he needs and I think that's worth a lot more than a potential future security clearance 20+ yrs from now.[/quote]
