[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608471, member: 1550"] Who says it's all your fault? Psychiatrists and neuropsychs (who have the knowledge and education to know) or your mother, your aunt, your neitghbor, your (cough) friends, your kissing cousin or Joe Blow who sees your child acting up in the store and thinks he could cure him with a good trip to the woodshed? The only people who know squat and should matter to you are the psychiatrist and neuropsychologist. People who have never gone through this and have no education on childhood disorders at all are completely clueless. They know as much about why your child is like he is as they understand rocket science. IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE! In fact, tell them you would rather not discuss your son. Period. Malika, there are very few neighborhoods in the US that are safe enough for a difficult child to wander around in. Nobody would know him or pay attention to him and there is very real danger if a child should decide to veer off from his path. I live in a small town and I still waited a very long time to let Sonic do the stuff other kids his age did all the time. He was too apt to get sidetracked. I certainly can't say for sure, but if J lived in the US, I am thinking you would not want him too far out of your sight. [/QUOTE]
