[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 694391, member: 19838"] I agree with you there. I think if anything my willingness to seek help and understand his disability has at times allowed me to give him a pass when others could have gotten more out of him. I'm a permissive, open-spiritual parent and probably the worst type that could have been given to him. Such is the world of hindsight. I've always viewed him through the lens of "impaired" and perhaps that is one area I can work on in changing my perception. But I do have to acknowlege the deficits in order to begin to understand why he can't just "learn" like other kids. Understanding, acceptance, and then positive expectations and beliefs coupled with strong boundaries really is what anyone needs, no matter what IQ. [/QUOTE]
