[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 266258, member: 3419"] Hi Halana, nice to meet you. My answer is, it depends... upon who needs to know, when and why. If my difficult child is doing something bizarre and out of place, I will say something. I have not made a huge announcement to my family but I am going to have to, simply because one by one, I've told everyone but one sister, and she's going to find out and wonder why. (She makes a big deal out of everything and I just don't want to deal with-it right now.) I try not to tell people from his school, except his teachers and principal, because I don't want him to be viewed as "different." Right now, he's a yr older and the kids think that's cool. I'd rather keep it that way as long as possible. The teachers I have told, incl. church school, have all said, "Ahh," and raised their eyebrows. They all said, "I knew something was different but didn't know what it was." So far, so good. Gosh, I'm no help at all, am I? :) [/QUOTE]
