[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 433419, member: 805"] I agree with MWM. I can tell you that my difficult child actually had a very "above age" understanding of his diagnosis's when things first began to get bad. He was 7. From his perspective, his struggles have always been with him. While your son might try very hard to appear the same because he doesn't want anyone to know, my son tries really hard because he knows he has to. Does that make sense? Either way our kids look at it, they are working had to keep up with their peers. I think you play the waiting game. We actually made very, very few changes in middle school and actually took some accommodations away because difficult child either didn't need them anymore or didn't want them (small group testing he didn't want is one example I remember from middle school - he wanted to test like he had all year, with his class - when it came down to our state testing, he wanted to do the same - I had to email the principal an "emergency" letter to attach to his IEP giving permission for the IEP "small group testing" accommodation not to be followed). You are one to keep on top of things - I say just wait. Sharon [/QUOTE]
