[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 234510, member: 1550"] Oh, I think it's important. When son had BiPolar (BP) diagnosis, they loaded him up with medications. That didn't help him because he's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Now he's gotten tons of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions and has improved 90%. In spite of that, he sitll may need an assisted living apartment as an adult so the diagnosis. is important even into adulthood. Certain diagnoses don't get you much help so I do think it matters. A lot. If son needs assisted living, he also gets job counseling and coaching and somebody to check in on him a little bit. This is the degree of services I feel he will need. But he won't get them if his diagnosis. is "depression' or "ODD." [/QUOTE]
