I think we're an over diagnosed society. When my daughter was young and we (and her teacher) first started noticing that she was preoccupied, blah, blah, blah, we took her to a prestigious medical center for a top notch evaluation. Well, in hindsight, of course they made a diagnosis. I wonder how often someone pays that type of money only to have them come back and say "you (or your kid) are just fine"!
After years of on and off again therapy (mostly on), I've got a kid who now views herself as fundamentally/deeply sick. Well duh, she's been basically told for years that she's not like other kids.
At the time, you think you're doing the right thing and everyone applauds your early intervention and getting them help but sometimes I wish we'd just written it off and let her grow up without all that crap.
Hindsight sucks ass sometimes.
