[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 272237, member: 1233"] It is a tough thing to handle when your child asks about his diagnosis. I was always open with Wiz about it. Even from an early age. Plus he was in the psychiatrist's office when we discussed things. One thing I did was explain that his brain was different. I told him that his brain had connectors and pathways for information to be handled. His pathways are not the same as many other peoples. He is "wired" differently. I actually used that phrase (someone here mentioned it in a post and it just clicked with me as to how my difficult child was different - I did NOT think up that on my own, LOL!) I used aa computer analogy because he had been helping my dad replace the hard drive in my computer. I told him that while most people put the cd-rom into the first slot in the case, he had that in a different slot. He has all the same things as others, they just work a bit differently. Maybe that will help you help him. [/QUOTE]
