[QUOTE="SRL, post: 410371, member: 701"] I don't have any need or desire to persuade you. Parents arrive here at different places: different philosophies, different kids, different countries with different school and healthcare systems, different places in their journies with their kids. A parent who is ambivalent or even dead set against a label may one day find themselves pressing for one in order to get their kiddo what he or she needs. Parents also have different philosophies to labels, from telling the kids right up front all the way to not ever mentioning it and treating the issue just like any other issue. Also, labels don't necessarily stick here in the US--school systems and insurance companies are often happy to drop them when applicable because it costs them less. So you'll find no need for persuasion from me as long as you're adequately able to get whatever help (if any) your son needs at the time. If you could better address his needs by going further, that's when I'm more apt to give a nudge. At all times, it's important to listen to your child's words and behaviors, educate yourself, and be open to being flexible because you may find yourself in a different place with all of this someday. Hope this helps. SRL [/QUOTE]
