[QUOTE="cupcakes, post: 248971, member: 5901"] ok!! Thanks for your replies, you all describe everything I am feeling. I am def. not hung up on the labels, BUT because we are dealing with the school district and others who seem to REALLY care about the diagnosis it is frustrating. They all want to know "what's wrong" with him so they can place him approproately. Because the diagnosis are all different it makes it hard to know which one to concentrate on and which professional to put more weight in. I mean I have one saying he is totally fine, no need for medications, another says bipolar, another says depression, another says ADHD, ODD, CD, another says anxiety, one says NO ADHD at all, some say learning disabilities yes, some say no. It makes my head spin. AND it is hard to have a conversation with each DR. knowing that the last said something different. I realize I must make my own determination as to how to manage him and we are trying to do that. It is all the other talking heads that are pushing for a diagnosis so they can do what they are leagally required to do. [/QUOTE]
