At least in my state, to suggest a diagnosis means that the school corporation must PAY for testing. We are encouraged to tread lightly when talking with parents about a possible disability and to discuss specific behaviors, but not a diagnosis. I find it surprising that a teacher would go there.

That being said, I wouldn't take the concerns lightly either. If the teacher felt compelled to mention it, he/she must truly be concerned. It's never easy to talk about problems that a child is having.

My dd9 hates transitions too. She also hyper-focuses on things and appears to ignore you... Makes my grandmother furious.
