I have often wondered whether having a childhood diagnosis would have helped me or hindered me more--it certainly would have done both to some degree. But if I'd had parents like you (and tools, like the books you imagine) so that my way of being was affirmed as one-of-many-equally-acceptable-modes, rather than "unacceptably weird," I think a childhood diagnosis would have been a godsend.
