I am hardly gifted Insane. The ironing is easy, not difficult to observe and mimic and when dad needs a uniform shirt ironed for work and mom is working you just do it. I will admit the screwdriver trick dad taught me and you can't do it on cars now, I am showing my age on this one.
I don't think it's picking up on details, I think it's a desire to learn how to take care of myself. I just always knew there would come a time when I would no longer have my parents to take care of me, that I would have to do that for myself. I had that awareness that difficult child doesn't seem to have, awareness of the future and what that entails. difficult child lives for today, I truly believe that is the difference.
