[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 262213, member: 3388"] I used to think difficult child 1's obsessive interest in computers was going to be detrimental to his success. Once his therapist, a number of years ago, made me understand otherwise, we helped difficult child 1 take as many computer courses as possible while in high school. Now I see it, as Fran put it, as his "specific gift to build on." I hope and pray he uses it wisely... I just wish that Lisa's difficult child, Travis, Fran's difficult child, difficult child 2, and everyone else's difficult children had some sort of "specific gift" too. Sadly, it just makes it so much tougher for them to succeed in life... Lisa, I think you have a good point - If Travis doesn't think he can make it without public assistance, I think I can understand how he could give up on himself... It's just so sad... on the other hand, difficult child 2 is perfectly content to have others take care of him. I just wish he had some sort of spark in him, a desire to do things on his own...
