[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 591008, member: 14356"] JKF - I will say a prayer that the medications work for your son. I think that the medical professionals are hesitant to put a diagnosis or label on a teenager or young adult because sometimes the behaviour that they are exhibiting is outgrown and then they are stuck with a label that doesn't fit. It's a catch 22 because they can't get help without a diagnosis but you don't want to give the wrong diagnosis and saddle someone with is unnecessarily. There may come a time when my difficult child outgrows some of his behaviour. Thankfully he is not into drugs and I hope he never starts. I do see (on my mom's side) aunts and uncles that are non-functioning well into their 40's and 50's and that is concerning to me as far as difficult child's future goes. At this point we must wait and see what it is he does. And then there's my difficult child mom. But that's another post. [/QUOTE]
