[QUOTE="MISS, post: 480277, member: 13209"] Buddy summed it up perfectly. As my sons were adopted I was prepared, somewhat, for problems. [B]J[/B] felt mostly overwhelmed by his "differentness"/aspergers. It lead to suicide attempts. I was in protect mode. medications seemed to make things worse. The IEP was essential. Coping skills and confidence building have helped immensely. He now just states to new people that he has trouble assessing expression and tone so he may ask a lot of questions. And/or he may go into his head a little. When that doesn't work, and he is met with derision or confusion, he works to neutralize the situation or lets it go. He comes to me or his dad to debrief and either make a plan or release it. It is a heartbreaking amount of personal responsibility for him, but it is working. Alas, he is older. I would have laid the groundwork earlier had I known. For you....your guilt and pain, it is NOT you! At all. Breathe. A neuro is a good idea for your daughter. Remember.. definitive diagnoses are hard to come by with your childs profile. We still don't know for certain. [/QUOTE]
