[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 433223, member: 1550"] You know what? You can only use the official diagnosis anyway. His diagnosis EXPLAINS everything that Aspergers is from social anxiety to ADHD, which is almost always a part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). To me, if the person is doing well enough with what he has, let it go. If he starts to falter in school, you can re-evaluate him, but I don't know that he will get more accommodations for Aspergers if he is mainstreamed in all his classes. While I advocate getting a label to help with school and adulthood (which is still in the future for you), if things are stable now I would just let it go if it were me. My son got his diagnosis. at eleven and until then his interventions were enough. He did not have another evaluation until just a few months ago and that was because he is turning eighteen soon and needs to continue services. We needed to make sure he was good to go. Just my .02 :) [/QUOTE]
