[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 171620, member: 1550"] Ok. I read the post over again. I'm sensitive because I'm sooooooo tired of parents being blamed for a child's disability. In fact, parents are NOT blamed if a child gets any other medical or genetic problem, although I have heard the very insensitive "she shouldn't have had the child since she knew he could have had_____." I do feel that parenting methods help, as long as we keep an eye on the individual child and don't try to fit all of them into boxes. Also, some professionals are part of the problem. Frankly, when I see some kids on five medications, I cringe. I've taken medications since I was twenty-three and most medications made me worst. I've had tons of wrong diagnosis. too. I do tell parents who spank hard or yell that it won't work. I don't know if that makes the kids worse, but certainly in my opinion that won't help them. Yet parenting classes are often woefully inadequate for OUR kids needs. We look to professionals to guide us, and so often they are really not helpful. Through the years, because of both myself, my ex-druggie daughter AND my autistic son, I rely more on self-help books and other parents, and much less on psychologists (or any therapists). I just never had much luck with them, and sometimes feel that they lead me astray. Sara, sorry I jumped on ya ;) [/QUOTE]
