I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bled all over your journal. We're going through a very rough patch right now with my son, so I'm sensitive on the subject. And I know intellectually I did nothing wrong, but as you know, knowing intellectually is not the same as knowing emotionally.
And it's interesting... the poster seems to imply that parents seek out diagnoses to cover thier own inadequacies. I know of at least two cases where parents actively resisted getting help for their kid who might have been autistic. In one case it was a little boy at my son's school who was in the first grade and barely communicative. When I made it a point to talk to the SLT about him, she sighed and said his parents had resisted getting him assessed.
