[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678572, member: 18958"] He was never diagnosed with autism. He was brought to a pediatric neurologist because of a behavior, the neurologist said he did not have autism. I feel very differently than do you. There are many birth parents who feel their children are nothing like them, to the point of rejecting them. In my own case I am completely different from my sibling, and from my parents. There is only a physical resemblance to my mother and to a lesser degree to my father. I do not dispute that genes determine physiogamy. I do not dispute that intelligence is partially genetically determined but there are other factors as well. I absolutely disagree. If you were to meet me and my son, you would see a convergence in mannerisms, interests and personality. I would even say values. He is sociable like I am. His aptitudes are virtually equal. We differ somewhat in appearance *he resembles to some extent my father, and greatly in motivation, in drive. But I have said before that my drive I attribute to a sense of deficiency and inadequacy. Had I been a happy person or a more secure one, I would most likely have been complacent. That is not to say that I am a happy camper that my son does not try harder. He may still. Who knows? No. Only if it means that he can keep collecting the money. He thinks his conspiracies are rational. He thinks his self-consciousness about balding is rational. He does recognize he is depressed, but relates this entirely to his concern about his (very handsome) appearance. Thank you very much for the NAMI referral. COPA [/QUOTE]
