[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 40689, member: 1412"] I agree with what 3sacharm said. I think some diagnosis are more acceptable to the general public. I was very open with the high school (my son wasn't diagnosis until he was 15), and they were willing to work with me when difficult child's diagnosis was ADD/ODD. However, when I told them he had been diagnosis with bipolar disorder (nine months later), they were suddenly unwilling to deal with him and I ended up taking him out of school within a week of telling them. I'm not ashamed of him, but in my experience, being open with people who aren't educated in the area of mental illness can cause a lot of problems. [/QUOTE]
