<p>I’m very happy for you and your son. This experience also shows that teenagers are teenagers - sometimes they balk at a conversation but then come back to us with amazing insight. I’m glad you feel more confident, and that he feels more confident. I’m betting this also will help you feel closer. The more he knows about himself before he goes to college, the better - not just a “diagnosis” (although I still agree this would be good documentation to help him advocate with any institution), but what his comfort levels are, what his strengths and challenges are. This is true for any kid.</p>
<p>Best wishes. Thank you for sharing your story.</p>
