Good luck to you Blindspot149 when you go for your evaluation. I can see where it would be liberating and cathartic to have that understanding. I want that for my son as well. As a child he was diagnosed with dyslexia and it made him feel better to know. He could see his problems were not because he...

The idea that a formal diagnosis could end up being more harmful than helpful is something to be considered. I was thinking that he could get assistance paying for some of his general health care needs and some therapy if he chooses. He has no health insurance at this time. I guess I should check to...

In fact he fears that even seeing a therapist will result in him obsessing about his problems. He is very depressed and as of late has had OCD ...

He's bright and a wonderful human being full of love and kindness. I've learned so much from him. I learned how to be proud of myself ...
