[QUOTE="Malika, post: 433482, member: 11227"] These are all good points. There is also a (I believe legitimate) fear that if you put a label on a child you can create a perception of abnormality where there previously was none. And not wanting to do that is just about not wanting a child to be stigmatised. It's part of my own personal quandary. No teacher or childminder my son has had has thought he was anything other than a very active, mischievous little boy. I know something different... but obviously it is tempting to draw a veil over that and just go with their perception, not wanting him to be marginalised. Don't know whether that makes sense!
