[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 742539, member: 18958"] Dear SWOT: I agree with almost all that you are saying. Especially this: This, all of this, was my point. [B][I][U]The last thing I am advocating is that we endorse diagnosing here, center upon them, or even as parents, to take them as real, without confirmation by other means and sources.[/U][/I][/B] We just don't know enough. And I believe this manner of understanding, is itself flawed. Our responsibility on this forum, collectively, is to understand, to survive and to grow from the trauma we are experiencing, via our children, and to support each other to do the same. If we diagnose each others children (let alone each other) it can lead to confusion or pain. These parents are already suffering in the cauldron of conflicting diagnoses dispensed by professionals who either take themselves too seriously or do not take their work seriously enough, by diagnosing capriciously and thoughtlessly. Of course the professionals are forced into this by the way the profession is currently structured and understood and compensated. But as you say, it is dangerous. And as you say we do not have to fall into the same cauldron of stew. [/QUOTE]
