[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739228, member: 18958"] Sumsky. It is more typical than not to have several diagnoses. In the USA diagnoses are written using a five axis system. Axis I being acute, like depression or psychosis, Axis II being stable influences such as developmental disorders or personality disorders. And so on. It is possible to have two or more diagnoses on a single level, for example, a personality disorder such as Antisocial Personality diagnosis and a developmental diagnosis, such as ADHD on Axis II. What I am trying to reinforce is what you are saying, that they seem to be taking seriously your stepson, to be giving him his best shot by ferreting out what they can, the nuances. I would try to remember, too, if I was his parent, that he is a developing person, with a developing brain. Which is to say, there is every hope of his being helped; but not at the cost of the security and wellbeing of your daughter. [/QUOTE]
