[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not a label, its a medical diagnosis. Kids aren't cans of soup. This seems to be the only area in which we disparage medical diagnoses as "labels." It just perpetuates the feeling of shame. My DS has both ADHD and AS. These aren't labels, they are his medical diagnoses and like all medical diagnoses, they don't define him. [/quote] Agree. It's ridiculous. The people who complain about a "label" usually mean they wish their child did not have the diagnosis and the accompanying deficits (like without the diagnosis/label the deficits would not exist?) or their child was misdiagnosed. Yes, a misdiagnosis is always "bad"...[/quote]
