Mama_Cakes I do not have any direct experience with OCD. However, my son was ADHD and I think I would be fairly safe in saying that any of these types of disorders that place a child outside what is considered the “normal” range of behaviors is going to place an additional burden upon the child. In a school setting, once the child is diagnosed as being different, the teaching staff is going to be hyper aware and looking for whatever problems are associated with the particular difficulty. Small things that might be overlooked will be highlighted with the labeled child. If this is your child, you will have to fight tooth and nail to get any kind of normalcy for you child. But, do not give up and do not give in to the assigned program. Demand that they treat the child no differently than the rest of them. I would advise that if there is any way possible, do not allow any kind of labelling to occur. Once it is in place it is almost impossible to get out from under the cloud of suspicion that is placed on the child.
