[QUOTE="Fran, post: 210080, member: 3"] I hate it too. I hate that with everything we know and try and all the work everyone has tried this may be the best it will be. There is no cure. Only modification of behavior and developmental leaps. It's no one's fault but it's a thief and steals our kids future and potential. It's still an invisible disability. Sue you can see Boo's challenges. difficult child's are not obvious and their behavior is so darn [I]dislikeable. [/I]They ruin family gathering, terrorize or embarrass their sibs and threaten to unravel the family unit by all the upheaval, tension and financial pressure. Yet, as parents we have to see beyond the obvious oppositional difficult behavior to see a child who needs us to see them more than ever as they age. Before graduation there are supports,with IEP's, teams,lots of people who want to help children. Unfortunately as adults they lose a lot of that and the real world doesn't give them an IEP. They can become invisible. It's up to us to see them. It's the best we can do when it comes into adulthood. [/QUOTE]
