[QUOTE="buddy, post: 525124, member: 12886"] Even when Q was 4 and got his autism diagnosis (the medical one, not the school label) ...I got a second opinion. I even worked at the place that did the original diagnosis. I just had to know for sure. I think there is nothing wrong with going to experts and making sure... and what looks like one thing now, at such a young age could really present differently at a later age. The important thing of course is to get the help and support for the issues that are happening. I am sure you are all over that since you have been at this so long.... One of the saddest days ever for me was to see the words on paper, in black and white. But you know what??? He was the same kid I had lived with, the same kid who hugged me, the same kid who had good moments and rotten moments, and we just pushed on. It is the same kind of grieving process (as I am sure you know) as a death, hard to believe, anger, why??? please God no...etc. Eventually we really do have to accept them as they are. The diagnosis we get can help guide therapy adn get insurance to pay for things. But they are people first, not their label. super soft hugs for you, we have all been there. [/QUOTE]
