Disclosing a neurodevelopmental disorder to parents is always difficult, in spite of current training in this task. Regardless of how well trained we are, we will always find the task difficult and often worry we have got it ‘wrong’. However, I have found myself almost thanked when telling parents that their child still has a problem. Often these parents have sought a second or third opinion after being told their child was healthy.
