[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 519825, member: 6546"] You know, I feel like I've been punched in the Mommy-gut so many times over this kid - I really don't have any idea any more. I've only learned how to react to her. I know she will tell me lies - so I've stopped asking questions. I've learned that she's unmotivated - so I've dropped my expectations. I've learned that she does not think the way a typical person might - so I am working on accepting that. As far as whether there might be an underlying diagnosis that's been missed all these years? While it's possible, I'm not sure it matters any more. difficult child is not impaired enough to qualify for any kind of disability or other assistance once she turns 18....and she's going to have to find a way of being in the world that allows her to survive. husband and I plan to do all we can to prepare her for the real world - whether she chooses to implement any of the strategies she is taught is ultimately up to her.
