[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 87469, member: 1550"] I applaud the young woman with ADHD. I'm not sure what you want for your child, but sometimes we need to alter our expectations of what success means. Your child has many challenges. So does mine. My goal for him is that even if he needs to work in a sheltered workshop, which is possible, and have some assisted living, that he is happy and healthy and trying as hard as he can. He can communicate well, has friends, and is one of the nicest people I've ever met on earth. He is such a fighter. So far he is exceeding my expectations. I don't hold him to the standards I hold my other children to, but my once drug addicted daughter is the manger of a Fannie Mae store. No, she's not a NeuroSurgeon and she only went to tech college, not a four year school. But do I consider her a success??? HELL YES! I'm so proud of her I could burst. Instead of doing drugs, she's a boss, and into health food and exercize instead of pot. Better, she has a great heart. So I would keep an open mind. [/QUOTE]
