[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 540532, member: 11791"] I'm going to expand that statement... No one escapes from an undiagnosed disability unscathed. For our difficult child, the missed diagnosis wasn't a Learning Disability (LD)... it was Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). Same diff, in terms of impact - social, emotional, behavioral, etc. Right down to the "cheating to survive" because there was no other answer. In our case, the test that was needed to reveal the particular Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), was not in common use in our area until difficult child was in HS. Which is... 9 years too late. NINE years of being told you're stupid, lazy, and/or got an attitude problem. WE (parents) knew those labels were wrong, but were powerless to do anything UNTIL we fell into the diagnosis. So yes, I hear you. Have you done any research into NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and how common it is for that to be a missed diagnosis, how long has it been commonly recognized, etc.? Perhaps there wasn't as much they could have done in the early years, as you might expect. [/QUOTE]
