Same here with my kids. I know a family who’s got a socially awkward girl who was diagnosed as autistic and the parents thought the doctor was nuts, and he’s an EMT.
It reminds me of what’s going on with the alleged increase in asthma. I know kids who have been diagnosed as having asthma when they were at the doctor’s for having a cold. How the heck can you diagnose asthma when the kid’s already congested with a cold? And the kids NEVER display any asthmatic symptoms after the cold is gone. But here they are, diagnosed asthmatic.
My son had a *lung capacity test* done at the doctor’s office using a little hand held device. It came out as *good* but they told him he had only 90% lung capacity; this from a swimmer who can hold his breath well over a minute when sitting still. The nurse looks at the machine and says *Oh, it says good. It never did that before. It usually says “very critical”.*
?????
And I should trust this diagnosis?
And what about all the other people who got diagnosed with that machine?
And, of course, there’s all the medication they now want him to be on. He NEVER has a problem.
All that to say, that personal experience has led me to have some serious doubts about diagnostic procedures for conditions that can have vague symptoms.
Perhaps you are going to the wrong physician.
That is no excuse to condemn all physicians.
