[QUOTE="Malika, post: 589943, member: 11227"] Well, I guess it's still a choice to be made. I don't want to live my life with a tight structure like that - we have, of course, a loose one - and so I don't. I guess it comes down to that, if I am honest. In terms of J, I am like everyone else, I have realised. That is to say, that I find it impossible to really see his disability and react much of the time as if he were an ordinary kid - ie I get cross with him when he behaves as his impulsivity dictates that he behave. In a way, thinking about it, I don't know that it would even do him much good to constantly treat him with kid gloves on, as though he does not have to learn these basic codes and rules. It is difficult for all concerned, not least him. Rules and structure are good to a certain point, but only to a certain point. And we are about to go and live in Morocco, where life is very unstructured for children. None of this is really feasible. [/QUOTE]
