Diagnosis

What is your story? My oldest son was originally diagnosed as Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. That told us nothing until we saw The View episode and someone mentioned that was an euphamism for Asperger's Syndrome. He missed valuable time treating this disorder that has taken alot of his childhood. When we were able to bring him in and have him re-evaluated by someone else, we thought we might as well test our second son. They scored the EXACT SAME NUMBER on the initial screening.....but with completely different attributes!!! Wow!!!! Since his diagnosis, he has made great strides.  He is even in football and a stage musical of OLIVER as the Artful Dodger at the present time. YEAH!!!!! Of course, we have set-backs......but we just keep chuggin' along. Please share your story.....
