[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 637712, member: 15907"] Goodness, the whole "it's MY fault" ideation. Don't I have it too? Of course I do! If I hadn't pushed Kiddo so hard to learn so many ways to be functional, she'd be LESS functional and much easier to deal with! That's the ticket! I made her learn more than her ability to use her skills safely or appropriately! I'm the failure! Oh lord, do I hear that voice. (I mean, I think it's true - Kiddo was a joy to teach and engage in occupational, sensory, speech therapy - but ran into the Autism Wall by, I think about 6th grade. We kept plugging along because Temple Grandin! Splinter Skills! Someday! College! Etc! Except what we plan for the future and what the future actually holds doesn't always meet up in the same coffee shop. I'm not of any typical religious understanding, but it's pretty close to what my mom has said (Yiddish): "Mann tracht und Gott Lacht." We mere humans make plans, and God or the gods get a good laugh out of our plans. You've got some good thoughts here, and it's hard but if you get a hold of the difference between Habit and Will, I think you'll make it to a healthier state of mind. [/QUOTE]
