[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 408171, member: 1991"] Welcome out of the closet. I like the way you have used percentages to define your daughter. Maybe I should do that too, with easy child 2/difficult child 2. A thought for you - is there a chance your daughter is showing some Aspie traits? It is not uncommon in families where one member is somewhere on the autism spectrum. We have been told that easy child 2/difficult child 2 does not have Asperger's, but does show some traits, notably the ADD stuff plus Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety. Girls are also very difficult to diagnose because they seem to adapt differently. We have not got easy child 2/difficult child 2 an official diagnosis, a lot of tdocs she's worked with have said that there probably is nothing to be gained by formalising a diagnosis now she's almost 25 years old. But it is now our working hypothesis. Your son sounds a lot like mine. Only it sounds like yours is able to function in school, which is good. When you find something that is working, you stick to it! Marg [/QUOTE]
