Oh, Etta, I so agree. I know there are reasons for diagnoses, such as funding for extra help, but I think we attach a label to far too many things that can also be considered to be just different personalities. Quirkiness can be wonderful.
interesting....I sit on both sides of the fence. I do think we are too quick to lable and medicate our children, I've certainly experienced it but sometimes you're looking for a solution and you don't know how to find it unless it's got a 'category' I guess to look in for help.
I now live in Virginia but have lived most of my life in Oregon. I am a very lucky woman having been blessed with 6 wonderful children and 8 beautiful grandchildren. The Lord has blessed me with the things I always wanted as I was growing up and now he has brought me back here to once again be able to be around my sisters. Life has truly been a wonderful journey!
