Cirrus:
Who are you to "encourage" a doctor to change his diagnosis?
I'm the parent of the child, silly... and, where it to be me that was the child I'd want my dad to do the same for me. You can do what you please. I'll ensure that the most courses are open to my child. Should it turn out to be a long term issue I would counsel my child to avoid activities/careers that would cause them further problems or that they would be unable to be a part of.
Now, climb down off that great big high horse of yours, you sound like such a pompous git up there.
