i recently spoke with an old friend of mine who suspects she may have a few psychological conditions (not ASD, although her daughter has ASD), but she will NOT undergo diagnosis or testing because her understanding is that this could then be used against her in a custody or suitability hearing (or whatever it might be called). And she's an AWESOME single mom. I don't have much more to add about that, but I'm curious myself as I may choose to have a child in the future and I wonder what impact a diagnosis or diagnoses could have?
