[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 629300, member: 14557"] I'm sorry if you feel offended. My intention was not so. In your posts you make it clear, you have done everything you could, were able to, and knew how, to help your son. That not seemingly helping him much is a shame and certainly not your fault. I'm also not trying to imply, that someone else in this thread/on the boards would have not tried their very best with their children. I'm sure we all did. Most of us probably did some mistakes too (at least i did) and if we had a do-over, would do some things differently. But we did try. However, when we are talking about the phenomenon, it is dangerous to hide behind genetics, because that does give us a 'get out of the jail free'-card when it comes to how we need help the kids (our own or in society) that may have disadvantageous genes or early environmental factors. My posts are in no way meant to blame anyone for what has happened with their kids, but when talking about generalities, hiding behind the illusion that some people are just destined to have it bad because of their genetics is a dangerous notion in many ways.
