[QUOTE="buddy, post: 578327, member: 12886"] LOL, it's always relative right? I think some of us with kids who have clear cut developmental conditions and diagnoses may have some crazy behaviors and worries but I always feel grateful I don't ever have anyone doubting me, and that is huge. My lid is not borderline in any way and ive never had to fight for the right to get services. Now, I've certainly had to fight for types of services and to deal with incompetent providers, but never whether or not he qualifies. So many here had typical kids (or at least kids with potential to be successfully independent ) then they became addicted or a mental illness started/became worse etc. There's something to be said for never wondering if I do this or that whether he will be "typically " functioning. Sounds strange to appreciate a position of less hope for my kid to be "normal" but I think the road is more challenging emotionally for parents who have hope/no hope on such a challenging rollercoaster. My son? It's more like..... will he need 24/7 line of sight supervision, or could it be 24/7 availability of supervision, Know what I mean?? He will always need support, so I can move past that wondering and going through that grieving. Wow, don't know where that came from, you just made me realize that yeah, behaviors and issues are all relative. I think most people even here probably view living with my son and the severity of his behaviors unbearable, but it's all what you are used to I suppose, and not like we get a choice really! The hoarding of things? My son goes through spells. I have to hide treats because food is gone in a day (whole boxes of things or all the bananas etc. ) He hoards objects like tennis balls, and it used to be old cigarette butts. So gross and I finally cut the seams out of his pockets and he now has stopped (plus we moved to a house where neighbors dont have cans with butts on shared porches. Our decks are huge and private here, no way to get at them if they do have some sitting out. The apples in the bra image made me laugh! (Sorry)... it's crazy making at.the time usually, but you can laugh later, right?. I don't think I'll ever laugh about our aggressive behavior issues but some of the behaviors are kind of humerous (once they're done). Sorry for the challenge, and thanks for sharing. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
