[quote=Anonymous]Why do you need a specific diagnosis, OP? You are treating the symptoms, and that's what matters. There's no need for a label, which may limit your child. My child had "issues" but no diagnosis because I did not want one. I didn't see the point. She changed constantly, and I thought a diagnosis would force her teachers to see her a certain way and think that she couldn't do things, when she could do them with a little support. My DD is now in college and doing extremely well. She still has some issues with organization, but she's improving. Had I labelled her, she may not have come as far as she has. I'm not suggesting that you do nothing, OP. But I don't think you need to put your child through a big long expensive evaluation only to find that there's no "label" you can paste on your child in the end. That "label" may last only a few years anyway. Why do you need it? [/quote]
