[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 543558, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]snees, I gotta tell you that I do understand the emotion of being scared. But I also have to say that being afraid of your child's diagnosis will be counterproductive to getting him the help he needs. We don't want our children pigen-holed, we don't our children labled, we don't want our children to be difficult children. But the reality is that they are. With a proper diagnosis, your son can begin to get the interventions he needs to build some successes in his life. Don't worry that "you didn't do X", "you shouldn't have done A" -- once the diagnosis comes through (and I did edit your post to remove the proper name of the institute your son is being tested at and it is a reputable and caring organization) you can move forward to help your son. Very often the wrong diagnosis can do more harm to our kids. We want them to be tested and get the correct diagnosis. Don't worry about his staying focused for the hours of testing or maintaining control, etc., they have done this with thousands of children and your son won't present something they haven't seen before. You are doing the right the thing by looking for more answers and questioning things you don't think are quite right. Mommy gut is a great tool! Keep your chin up, continue to fight for your son and don't think about the limitations on his future, focus on the possibilities that will open for him. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
