[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 657019, member: 11791"] Jabber... It is not YOUR fault - not Lil's either. It's also not your son's fault. Looking for somewhere to place blame? School systems and medical systems that are totally geared to crushing people who are different, but not "different enough" to obviously need a diagnosis and help. My son has the advantage of having parents that share some of the same diagnosable traits... I had have a chance at figuring out what he was thinking, at least some of the time - and had to literally SIT on his Dad to get him to shut up and back off because his first reaction was... he's just lazy, he could if he just put in effort, etc. Your son? probably takes after biodad, who isn't around. So he's left with TWO parents who haven't been down that road. No different than an adopted kid with challenges. I get the being touchy stuff. That's how we were when school and medical communities continued to insist that the whole problem was OUR parenting. If we just bought this, put him into that, dropped our standards considerably... NO! NONE of that was the problem. We got ALMOST NO help from anybody until ONE high school resource teacher figured him out a bit... and the next help was as an adult. [/QUOTE]
