[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The diagnosis is usually for the are psychotrooic drug script aspect that are healthcare system is based on.  In regard to behavior, what do we expect when there are no rules or consequences anymore especially for the upper class.  It's lawlessness, the kids are not dumb.  Then they will grow up to have the competence of our 47th [/quote]
I'm dumbfounded by the claim that the only reason to get a diagnosis is to get access to prescriptions.  DC has a diagnosis as 2E with associated anxiety, and I've used it to get appropriate therapy, executive function counseling, and reasonable accommodations from the school.  Pre-diagnosis, it was apparent to the teachers that DC was spending a lot of time crying in the bathroom and unable to complete assignments, just not why.  But now we have a therapist and executive function coach in place outside of school.  In addition to helping DC directly, they are giving the teachers advice on how to help DC succeed, and school performance has improved dramatically.  It's been a long journey, and very very hard, but I cannot recommend it enough.  There are so many reasons to get a diagnosis, not all parents jump to medications right away!  And you really have no place judging those who do until you've walked a mile in their shoes.[/quote]
