[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 473710, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]I think that by sharing what you know and have experienced [concerning his diagnosis] with your son, you are helping him to develop skills so that one day he may advocate for himself. That was one of my goals in sharing information with my difficult child. Yes, she did use her knowledge in her teen years to manipulate, however, in the long run, knowing has helped her in many ways. I wouldn't EVER withhold information that may help our children. You are right to give him age appropriate information. Just do so with both eyes wide open and do not overwhelm him; it sounds like you have a very good handle on things. Concerning our parents/inlaws and wellmeaning family members who give us their opinion - my feeling has always been they had their chance, now it's our turn. [/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
