[QUOTE="Steely, post: 167267, member: 3301"] Wow........thanks CAmom. That is inspiring & hopeful. I also try and consciously subtract about 4 years from my difficult children real age whenever I think of him as it relates to expectations. Although his IQ is high, his emotional IQ is low.........and I cannot expect him to be living up to a normal 17 year olds protocol. I think this is true for all difficult children. Their frontal lobe just does not develop as rapidly as others. The connections and synapses take longer to forge. We have to weigh all of this when we are setting up our vision of how their life is to look. Patience. As my sig says..........a mother's hope never dies. [/QUOTE]
