[QUOTE="Star*, post: 433402, member: 4964"] Mark Dude down as another kid who didn't 'want' a lable. Heck I din't want one for hime either - but it did help us get funding for certain things. Certainly has NOT helped him get Disability SSI. So now he's asking me "Well what good was a lable Mom?" lol (and we both can't figure it out either) EXCEPT for the lack of funds from GOOD OLD UNCLE SAM. I think the testing needs to be done as needed to keep up the diagnosis and paperwork. As far as looking at Manster and saying "You are a Vulcan, from the planet Vulcan and you will always be different with pointy ears and think logically unlike other children and everything I say will be most illogical to you because I am human?" Yeah well - to him? He just wants to be a kid for while because some day he's going to grow up, and realize - he really IS a kid that is different and he knows that day is coming - he's a smart kid. He's got Aspergers he's not mentally lacking - Know what I mean?? So you tell him - You know what Manster? YOU do what you have to do, and I'll do what I've gotta do to keep things rolling - and we'll just be fine. I'd let him decide when he's accepting of his diagnosis. Hugs = and I love what Timer said ! [/QUOTE]
