[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 579691, member: 1514"] Yes, our difficult child's do function at a lower functional age for quite a while. The good news is that most of them do catch up eventually. That time is normally when their frontal lobe finally completely finishes growing at about 24/25. Yeah I know that sounds like a long time. It doesnt always work though. My idiot brother in law is stuck acting like a 5 - 7 year old. My oldest granddaughter likes to play with him because he is right at her level. Tony and I picked up on it right away. He would color with her, pick up on her jokes when he couldnt understand ours, plays dolls with her, everything. Its as if he is a 7 year old. She is 6 and a half. When she outgrows him I dont know what will happen. I know he doesnt much like teens. [/QUOTE]
