[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589417, member: 1550"] I wouldn't want the ED label period. Every parent and child at school will know he is ED. He will not be treated the same as if he had Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). That's the theory, but it doesn't work that way. You don't want your kid to be labeled the same as a bunch of behavior problems at school. Those kids probably also have diagnoses driving their behavior, but they are undiagnosed and the teachers think very poorly of them. So do the other kids. My bestie has worked in an ED classroom for twenty years and it's not pretty, even though she's a tough cookie as is the teacher who lauds over the classroom. Both have been assaulted many times (this is middle school). What if your kid ended up with these kids??? Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is treatable. Because "emotionally disturbed" has no real concrete meaning, it's not treatable other than to often segregate them with each other and hope for the best when they are given work. Don't buy it. I would go to court to avoid that label. JMO :) [/QUOTE]
