[QUOTE="buddy, post: 535402, member: 12886"] This guy sounds pretty good. I think that at times, the people who have less obvious issues, even beyond what we think of as "hidden disabilities" suffer so much. They often end up developing their own maladaptive coping strategies no matter how hard we tried to fight for them because no one else sees it. They are far too aware and proud to want to seem "disabled" which of course they are not....but in thinking of your son....I imagine it could even be harder because he is in a sport. The strongest, toughest, most clever, win. Those are the guys who get the glory. I hope this guy can help him to see how it might be connected so he can even become a role model for any kid who has to struggle a little harder to show case their talents. Wouldn't that be a wonderful dream?? Mostly, I just hope it will help him to get along and succeed in a positive way though. That is reward enough. To a lesser degree this happens to my son because he misinterprets what "tough" is and gets ideas from tv and parts of social situations that he doesn't understand (different situation from your son but ends up the same) ...so he tries to act cool and is obviously doing all the wrong things. Sad to watch for those who love them. Have a good IEP meeting.....LOL [/QUOTE]
