[QUOTE="Sickntired, post: 97875, member: 3848"] This thread is really uplifting. It shows me there is hope. We all have to have hope that things will change or get better. I shudder to think about my difficult child driving. He has a "need for speed". That is not a good combination with driving, so we will more than likely not let him get a driver's license for quite some time. Here in Oklahoma, you can obtain a license at 16, which I feel is much, much to young, especially for him. When he proves he can follow simple rules, then we may ease into the driving thing. He's 14 now so we still have a while. I had a psychiatric doctor tell me in the beginning, he won't get better until HE wants to get better. And so far, he does not. I agree, they are at LEAST 3 years behind in maturity. I have always had the hope that as he matured, he would learn to handle some of his problems better and be more cooperative. Time will tell. But at least I know from your posts that it has happened with some of these kids. Till then, I'll just keep my helmet on and hold on for the ride. [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
