[QUOTE="FLC, post: 556712, member: 15371"] Thank you for the kind reception :) I'm glad to hear that CD would not be diagnosed under 10, because that might mean that the P-DR did not mean that as a formal diagnosis. on the other hand, the context in which she said that still leaves me a bit worried: Two years ago, our difficult child was formally diagnose Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (by a team similar in composition to the one we are seeing now). Since we started talking about it, we end up with a lot of doctors and related caretakers warning us that they considered the diagnosis to be wrong. Eventually we concluded that it was indeed wrong, left the team and tried elsewhere. Yesterday when we meet with the P-DR, we talked about school requirements and how they need us to get a "disability certificate". That allows the school to give him a special one-to-one learning program (this answers your second question). In more practical terms, that certificate is mostly bureaucracy so the health insurance is mandated to cover the cost (it's very expensive because there is a personalized teacher just for him that works inside the class alongside the main teacher, tailoring the class as needed). This school we've chosen specializes on doing just that, so they have the experience and "protocols" in place, but someone must cover the costs and we can't, so we seek the certificate. Now, such a certificate needs to justify the request and it needs to have a diagnosis. We were worried that they would put Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in there, so when we asked that, the doctor said "no, he is not Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), he has a conduct disorder and that's what I plan to inform the entity that issues the certificate" It wouldn't be the first time he gets misdiagnosed, so we need to do our own research. I'll read about Attachment Disorder as you suggested! That's exactly the sort of help I was hoping to get :) thank you very much Best [/QUOTE]
