[QUOTE="DDD, post: 288579, member: 35"] I do understand and am sending hugs your way. on the other hand, except in very extreme cases, I believe there is a grey area in these diagnoses. My difficult child was diagnosed with label #1 by the first team neuropsychs. I almost fell off my chair reading the report. He also was Learning Disability (LD)'d as Aspergers which I agreed with. In the past five years he has had 3 neuropsychs and each of them have indicated scarier sounding diagnosis's than Aspergers...so he says he has AS and is comfortable with that. The other labels (including a personality disorder) frighten him. My point is this. I believe that you take the steps you can take to alleviate the problems you know exist. You keep your eyes and your mind open for what "may" be there but accept that the bottom line is seeking a life that is reasonably happy for that child. All of us change as we mature and your difficult child may adapt enough that the label is just that...a label. Hugs, DDD [/QUOTE]
