[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 574067, member: 3419"] I completely understand. I watch other families and think, they seem happy enough. They're not all MENSA members. But it's not about them. It's about us and our own families, our own micro-cultures. What I have the hardest time with is that my son is very bright, but he doesn't care. Not one bit. He wants to put in only the least amt of effort possible. It is so frustrating. Other days, I'm just happy that he's safe and comes home on the bus. We have to change our goals and expectations. Totally. It is hard. We're all waiting for another John Elder Robison or Temple Grandin at our kitchen tables, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
