[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 418647, member: 805"] I think it's multilayered and, just like all our children are different, the benefits of a PROPER diagnosis has different "benefits" for different kids. It can mean a different therapy or medication, it can mean a change in doctors and approach, it can mean a change in insurance benefits, it can mean more services at school..... For my family, a PROPER diagnosis opened the door to school services and a different approach to discipline and doctors. A PROPER diagnosis also allowed my difficult child to gradually overcome some issues and learn how to cope with others. I think it's different for everyone depending on their particular circumstances. I'm not sure there is a real downside to having a diagnosis unless it causes others to make judgements.
