[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 679104, member: 11832"] SWOT , Didn't you used to be Midwest Mom? Thanks for thinking I'm a hero. I'm really not. I'm just using the years of patience to my advantage. The child I work with will never pass for neurotypical. He struggles mightily. He has many stimming behaviors and is quite noticeably awkward. He has a demanding father who expects him to excel. The mother apparently ran away. When I get discouraged working with him, I remember a friend from work who I believe was on the spectrum. I keep reminding myself that everyone needs support, understanding, and loving care. Particularly when your father demands perfection, and you know you aren't. My hope is that in some small way he will learn something useful from me. Most days he seems too far away to reach. [/QUOTE]
