[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry about telling your mom until you get the diagnosis. Even then, you do not need to tell her or anyone else. I have been through this, and my MIL has a teaching background and is very into things similar to how you describe your mom. We did not tell her until afterwards. She didn't really believe it but didn't make a huge issue of it either way. It isn't really her business, so we do what we need to do, and she deals with it. You can tell whoever you feel comfortable and not tell others. You don't owe it to anyone. You can say you are getting services for X or Y issue if you don't want to tell her the diagnosis, even if you found the services through the diagnosis (i.e. "She is having some gross motor delays, and we're doing OT to help with it," not "We're doing OT because she has autism.").[/quote] Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate it![/quote]
