[QUOTE="Fran, post: 144345, member: 3"] slsh, we were told when difficult child was 15 that his challenges were 2 fold. If difficult child met you,due to relatively high level of articulation and vocabulary, he will be judged as more capable than he really is. He hides his disability well. If he is assessed purely on evaluations, he would be thought to be unable to function. He said that we suffer the danger of overestimating difficult child and underestimating difficult child. It's difficult to keep things balanced. I don't know about you but I am so sick and tired of hygiene conversations I could just scream. I saw difficult child on Friday. I asked why his hair wasn't combed? He lost his brush. So for 3 months he hasn't brushed his hair!!!!! So my question is "what do you do about a lost brush?". He knows the answer but didn't know how to initiate the question. Add that he doesn't really care and you have a young man who looks ratty. It sounds like you suffer some similar issues with thank you. [/QUOTE]
