    We should delegate these decisions to professionals because otherwise, parents like you who go on vibes cause tremendous suffering in aggregate.

    Any treatment requires a willing kid and parent, but doesn’t the doctor’s expertise and recommendation outweigh your lack of expertise? I have a degree in this stuff and I would still prefer to take the advice of someone who knows better.

    The problem is, it’s easy for us to think we know something that we don’t. Often, we don’t have the breadth and depth of knowledge to make a reasoned decision that is better than the judgment of a specialist.
