[QUOTE="red, post: 318198, member: 8390"] Thanks for the prompt response! I kinda figured that, since the school guidance counselors understand that he simply will not write a single word or answer a single question without extra time and a keyboard, he will have to be accommodated, but it is good to know that the diagnosis is irrelevant. Sometimes I feel that the DSM is such a work in progress and these labels are so malleable, I could pull out all my hair trying to figure out the perfect label for him and it still would not be quite right. A psychologist will say, where's the diagnosis? And I say, we just don't really have a good one. And then they slap a label on him as if that says it all, when it never does quite fit. But now I can at least rest easy that I don't have to keep looking as long as the medications are right and the school is doing the right thing. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
