[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 539123, member: 14865"] MidwestMom - you have amazing intuition. I have had these very same thoughts. The main reason that I hope she's denied disability "right out of the gate" is because she hasn't even TRIED to work. The psychiatrist says she has low self-esteem (probably from all the struggles in school) and, once she hit middle school, has always been the type to hesitate and back out of things. She was a very confident little girl before school started getting to her and the mood disorder started emerging in middle school also. :( difficult child is a beautiful, very talented young woman with so much to offer, if given the right opportunity, time, and place. I've watched her work with children and she is quite good. She also makes amazing art, very out-of-the-box and unique. She also could definitely succeed in community college art classes; if she'd just enroll in ONE class, I'd be happy because it would get her away from Mr. Wonderful part of the day and have a chance to meet some new people.
