[QUOTE="DDD, post: 273065, member: 35"] Just reading your post it makes me think of easy child/difficult child. If what I write doesn't sound right...remember I'm in the midst of a "bug" attack so I may not be as tactful as usual. :winking: So....... I think that people with high or gifted IQ levels don't cope well with being "normal range". After a lifetime of knowing (actually quickly knowing) what's going on, to be "slowed" to a standard pace seems to be radically below perceived norm. There is an alteration of "self" that doesn't result in an aggresive plan of help. easy child/difficult child is now "normal" or maybe "a little below normal". He can not accept that he is no longer the sharpest pin in the pack. He evidently is not going to get disability because he is too close to normal. He does not feel adequate to compete in the workforce and hangs out with people who are slower than his old friends. That may not be what you feel.........but it is what he feels and I am really sorry that both of you are altered. on the other hand you guys are smarter than most and I am hopeful for your futures.
