There are some parents who would feel embarrassed about having a kid with any sort of disorder.
There are some parents who are just lazy.
I never bothered trying to get my son labeled if he is already on the IEP and already getting help from teachers. I didn't need a label if my son wasn't a bothersome at home other than being hyper and impulsive. I only sought outside help for him when his anxiety was starting to impact his life and it was getting worse.
