[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457647, member: 11791"] Who is the evaluation set up with? (what kind of doctors etc.) Many people feel like you do - that getting "labels" is scary. However... until you know what you are dealing with, its very difficult to make progress - and even when you do, you don't know why it works. I'll take "accurate medical labels" over the ones our difficult child kids tend to get from school, the legal system and society in general - lazy, stupid, good-for-nothing, etc. Just have to make sure the medical labels are accurate. How? Try them on for size. Does it make sense? Do the interventions have some measurable positive impact? Do the labels (dxes) seem to explain all the issues? If it fits, use it. If it doesn't fit - then usually either there are other explanations for the symptoms, OR you haven't found the right interventions. We just got another label. therapist was upset - took it as very bad news, because the kid has to live with this problem for the rest of his life. WE took it as good news... the problem has always been there, but now we know, and the school knows, and the medical community knows... and we can start doing something about it. Your feelings are understandable. And you're dumping them in the right place - among soft shoulders and experienced hearts. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
