[QUOTE="totoro, post: 50191, member: 3155"] Thanks Janet- Nice can of worms!!! JK... Honestly though, I think this has made everyone think about what they say and maybe how they say it. Regarding diagnosis's. I know I was pushed for the Autism diagnosis when I first came here, I know everyone was being helpful, but part of me felt like I had to get the Autism diagnosis... that had to be what she was. I myself am too new to all of this to push various diagnosis'd or thoughts on other disorders. But I try to speak of my experiences. Especially with my extensive family of mental illness. My difficult child 1 has had a diagnosis in the Autism spectrum, but it was from a SW who was pushing it for funding purposes through the SD and Mental Health Dept. Everyone else has discounted any Autism spectrum, but I still get pushed in that direction... which is fine. I understand diagnoses can change for our kids, but this is what I have right now. Whether her ODD, Severe ADHD is just a symptom of her BiPolar (BP) or an actual seperate diagnosis??? Who knows??? I just want her to recieve help, for the symptoms, and if some of her symptoms are Autistic-like, then I am trying to get therapies to help those symptoms. Regardless of her diagnosis. The only reason I want the diagnosis is for school and for smart medication choices... I am so greatful for this place it has helped me so much and given me so much insight into my children and my family. I think we are all a little bit difficult child'ish at times and hold these things so dear to our hearts that we are passionate about these topics. For some of us it is all we know at this point in our lives... can you blame some of us for flying off the handle regarding the thing we love most in the world, our children? I know I need to lighten up at times, my life right now is filled with a severely depressed, manic, violent child... I am sure lots of us are in the same boat just deperate for an answer... -Be Kind [/QUOTE]
