[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663063, member: 18958"] We were involved with this Psychiatrist from 6th grade until early adulthood. It was not a one or two time deal. He was well-regarded, highly trained and competent. Of course there were differences. He had recurring problems in nursery school and in school. He went to a behavioral preschool and ultimately was Other/Health Impaired ADHD in Special Education. He had friendships. He played normally but was messy with toys. I was not his only friend. I did not cling to him. He played outside as soon as he was old enough to do so. He had good friends. One from 6th grade is still his friend. He was not a self starter with homework and he did not date normally. Part of this was that he was a therapeutic high school or out of the country where kids did not date. I am not saying he was a normal kid. How could I? I am just saying it is painful to accept that my son will likely never lead a normal life. That is painful. For him and for me. I do not think that any remedy for me involves diagnosing or treating my son. I cannot. That is between him and whoever takes responsibility for his care. The only thing I can rightfully do is learn to take care of myself and M and be a mother to my son in a way that does not hurt him or me or M. [/QUOTE]
