[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 521421, member: 11791"] They wouldn't necessarily have caught it back then, even if you HAD pushed. Don't beat yourself up over it. Yes, starting middle school is a challenge... but when our kids are fairly self-aware, it helps when they get accurate dxes that make sense. It takes away the power of a teacher with the "bad student" labels... "lazy", "bad attitude", etc. - because the difficult child knows what the [I]real labels[/I] are. The biggest single difference for our difficult child was when he got dxes that matched up with his own internal compass - the list of problems HE knew had been there since K, and which we were unable to get help for. HE was right. "THEY" were wrong. [/QUOTE]
