[QUOTE="Malika, post: 479436, member: 11227"] Thanks, buddy, for these peacemakers' (blessed are they :)) words... Well, having just had a meeting with my son's teacher, she too wanted to tell me that I am a great worrier with the implication that I am worrying about nothing... Last time we met, there was talk of an educational team meeting involving the child psychiatrist, school psychologist, school and me... I had heard nothing so wanted to ask about it. Oh, she said, she had dropped the idea because J has made so much progress and is doing so well that she feels it would be unnecessary and she doesn't want to stigmatise him... What a great gift it is in life to be able to listen to people. This lady does not have it. She is nice enough, but it was impossible to finish a sentence or explain why I am concerned about the possibility of learning disabilities. She doesn't think he has ADHD, she doesn't think he has any learning problems. He is making great progress and doing very well, behaviourally as well as academically. I felt rather ridiculous at the end. "You like to stress yourself, Mme S!" she said. So... if I wanted to put my head in the sand (again) and imagine that there is nothing in the world going on for J other than that he is a turbulent, unruly boy like other turbulent, unruly boys, I have been given permission to do so...
