[QUOTE="Malika, post: 493282, member: 11227"] Thanks exhausted - and for sharing something of your difficult child's inspiring tale. I am not beyond hope, though. I meant that I have had this false hope that J would grow out of all this stuff [B]all on his own[/B], without help, just as a matter of time... He has a lot of potential, many qualities, and I've always seen that, certainly don't feel despairing about him on the whole. Thanks too, Buddy. Wise words, as ever. Yes, there is a lot of hope. I just am struggling with my own incomplete acceptance - I've come a long way! - acceptance of J's difference. This is a child without a diagnosis, though, for the moment! And I think you make a very interesting and important point about diagnoses and limited expectations. Though to be honest... I think I probably need to be clearer and more specific about asking for more help with him. Raise my concerns more forcefully with the new psychiatrist, with whom we have an appointment in January. Otherwise everything just sort of slides by... J's behaviours are not outrageous and intense enough to warrant a sense of urgency on people's parts... Except for the way he is at home, which most people don't see and witness. [/QUOTE]
