[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193535, member: 1550"] I think we are putting down doctor's diagnoses. I can't imagine anyone trying to diagnose these kids themselves...we just aren't qualified to do it. And most of us have more than one evaluation because new symptoms tend to appear as the child gets older, but a "working diagnosis" is a good place to start. I would be leery of any professional who wants to try therapy first without even knowing what is wrong. In general, that doesn't help kids who are severe enough for parents to post here. Therapy can help, but not in of itself. You really do need to know the "label" so you know how to deal with your child. Then you can get help in school and the community and this can be the difference between a good and bad prognosis for kids like ours. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
