[QUOTE="klmno, post: 118362, member: 3699"] Hi! I just wanted to offer some support! It sounds great that things finally are moving in the right direction and that you are in agreement with the teachers. Hopefully, this will help your difficult child and get some supports in place. Don't be surprised if the diagnosis changes- remember it's only a label! The main thing is that everyone is working on finding what is the right answer and it's moving in that direction. It probably would be a good idea to continue with any suggested testing- if you're like me you'd always wonder otherwise. As far as medications, that's a hard one- I tend to think that as parents, we have to go by our gut instinct and weigh what the docs are saying and what we think is best for our child. I don't put too much weight on what people outside of that realm say when it comes to whether or not my difficult child needs medications. It's a tough call-- People on the board here are very helpful with potential side effects, experience they've had with certain medications, etc. But whether or not to start them- again, it's a tough call - [/QUOTE]
