[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 458012, member: 1991"] No worries, Kimmie. We're all busy people, we understand. Don't get too hung up on the label here, even the best specialist needs to consider upgrading or modifying a diagnosis as the child gets older. Even the best can get it wrong, or miss something. Also be wary of a tendency from some specialists to label what they see, rather than put all the puzzle pieces together. Think of a jigsaw puzzle. There's a piece of tree over here, I can see a bottom edge piece which has a fragment of a cow. On the side (another edge piece) is a piece of fence. Lots of blue sky with a few white bits in them - clouds in s summery sky. Over time we get more puzzle pieces but already we can say - this picture is rural, a farmer's field on a fine summer's day. But a lot of specialists will not take go out on that limb, they will instead merely label the puzzle pieces, as an archaeologist would carefully lay out various treasures unearthed from a dig.
