[QUOTE="Malika, post: 570174, member: 11227"] Hmmm, well, cough, cough, I am still in the room, lol :) I wouldn't think my posts bear much analysis as a constant thread... Basically, I am often thrown for six by J's oppositionality/impulsivity/difference. My own ideal situation would be to have a quiet, calm, intellectual-type child who does what I ask and is polite and well-behaved - or at the very least a boisterous, lively one who does what I ask and is polite and well-behaved :) I'm joking but actually I'm also telling a certain truth (alas). I didn't bargain for ADHD plus when I adopted J and I didn't bargain for bringing him up essentially alone. I'm also living in a society that is ultra-codified, ultra-conformist and has virtually no knowledge of or tolerance for differences such as these. I am challenged to the max by J's behavioural difficulties and by his learning differences is about as honestly as I can say it. So, yes, I am certainly biased in favour of J being normal and delightful rather than unusual and obnoxious as is sometimes the case... I don't know whether medications would help him. Instinctively I'm against but then sometimes I think... why not try it, what if his life was transformed and he stopped being the object of so much scolding and semi-exclusion? As I've said to Buddy privately, I just don't think I'm cut out for special needs parenting! And of course normal needs parenting is no cynch... But this is what I've got, this is the hand I've been dealt and I have to play it... It ain't easy. But you all know all about that... [/QUOTE]
