[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 139243, member: 4362"] The truth is that unless you've had direct contact with someone with any of these disorders, then you cannot know what it is like. I don't think a business card would help, because many people believe (incorrectly) that a child can't have a mood disorder ODD, ADHD, anxiety, etc. Those of us with difficult children know better. As an FYI, my teaching credential class on special education students had a whole chapter dedicated to ADD/ ADHD, and another chapter on kids with emotional and mental disorders. Teachers should know about these types of kids and how to handle them (realize that I just got my credential four years ago after being a burnt out, high tech exec). I love TM's answer, too. The decisions that you make for your child are the best you can make at the time, and if you're like me, you get all the info you can before you make them. Don't defend yourself, just take care of your family the way you see fit. [/QUOTE]
