[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 104136, member: 3907"] I agree with Saman. If the labels will help you to get the right sorts of interventions for your child, then you're probably better off to let the school know even if you're uncomfortable with them. I would also recommend checking out the Special Education forum on this site. They have some wonderful resources and ideas about dealing with the school system, getting your IEP in place, etc. My difficult child has Asperger's and ADHD. When he first received a diagnosis of autism at 5, we were grateful to have a place to start. We were able to start getting interventions for him in school and in extracurricular programs. He's not perfect by any means, but the earlier you start with interventions, the better the outcome for kids with Aspergers and ADHD. With regard to the psychiatrist, yes that does sound a bit weird. Almost as though he's trying to cover his bases in case he's wrong, or that he feels out of his depth in treating Aspergers, and yet is afraid to say so. Best of luck Trinity [/QUOTE]
