[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 605293, member: 14557"] I fear my difficult child is not a person to advocate anything - at least not yet or any day soon. While he may be open to trying new things that could help him, especially when he can explain it to himself an others as help for [I]hearing[/I] in noisy environment, he still very, very much would like to be 'normal' and 'like everyone else' (except of course preferably better in his sport than those 'everyone else' ;)) and any kind of advocating or even admitting his issues if not absolutely necessary is the last thing he wants to do. And to be honest, in this very vulnerable part of his career he would be stupid to make a roadblocks for himself by admitting his laundry list of issues to everyone. While some can't be hid, and while for some he has working solutions (and those are indeed given to new coaches etc. as a laundry list of simple and easy solutions that help difficult child do well), difficult child and his gent certainly try to hie and downplay issues. Because even though difficult child is very good, it is insanely competitive field and there are other boys with almost similar skills and comparable potential with no (known) issues. While difficult child has the edge over them performance wise (kiddies with difficult child's skills and potential and without issues are already competing at next level) it only buys him so much room to be extremely high-maintenance. So instead of admitting problems to short term employers like this current one, we give them 'workable package with manual.' [/QUOTE]
