[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 411089, member: 6705"] Yeah... And you're right, Eliz, some of those behaviors ARE exactly the same things our difficult children are doing. You know what though? 50 years ago, ADHD was just "bratty kid" and that was that. Autism had to be EXTREME to be recognized, and honestly, if the kids didn't have the snot [B][I]beat[/I][/B] out of them, they were locked away in asylums. 50 years ain't that long. That's back when you could still use the word "retarded". Fact is - it's actually an adjective and means nothing without a subject - as in, retarded growth. Now it just doesn't mean the same thing. Kinda like when someone was happy and carefree they were "gay". Now both words are insults, and they shouldn't be. Whoops, got on my soapbox, sorry... *Stepping down* [/QUOTE]
