Dd has recently been diagnosed with HFA (the new name for Aspergers). I think it might be useful at times if it were more generally known so maybe people would be more understanding of her foibles. DH disagrees and doesn't want her to have 'the label'. Obviously wouldn't do it without his agreement, but wanted a consensus on whether MNers thought it was best to tell, or not tell...
If you knew, would you encourage your dc to have a little more understanding if they had had a spat with mine as she gets upset more easily, or just tell them to leave mine alone in future and not be friends with her as you know spats might become a fairly regular thing...
Would you want her round your house for playdates? Etc etc
So, WIBU to tell people?
