do you tend to see disorders in others?

[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 370144, member: 135"] I'm not sure it's so much jumping to conclusions as it is seeing symptoms that other people may miss. I taught school for many years and after I had my difficult children and came here with all of you and became educated on so many disorders, when I saw kids exhibiting some of these behaviors, instead of just thinking they were rotten kids I was sometimes able to see (what I thought was) a little deeper.. I still saw rotten behavior after I knew a little more but when it was a PATTERN of their behavior I began to see tendencies toward certain disorders. I am a teacher, not a psychiatrist or a doctor, so I would never suppose that I could actually diagnose those conditions but when I was asked for my opinion I could certainly do a better job of telling what I was seeing and I sometimes went so far as telling my opinion of what MIGHT be the problem. I do think we need to be careful of seeing certain things and assuming we know what is "wrong" with somebody. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing but, used correctly, it can also put us on the path to understanding. [/QUOTE]
