[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 572188, member: 11791"] Knowing whether she is Aspie or not will not affect medications or other therapies much. But it WILL enable you, and others who work with her such as school etc, to approach her differently. It provides a "reason" for many things - which in turn changes ([I]should[/I] change) the actions of those who work with her. When there is a [I]reason for the behavior, [/I]school can't claim "she could if she wanted to"... because she [I]truly can't[/I][I]. [/I] Aspie diagnosis should get her accommodations and interventions - for example, advance notice of transitions, help with transitioning, all sorts of ways to make the day more of a "known" than an "unknown". Which, of course, [B]reduces anxiety[/B]. We've found that "reduction in anxiety" was the biggest advantage from most of our dxes... even difficult child understands himself better, and now it makes sense why we're trying to teach him certain skills etc., so he is more cooperative...
