[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 522684, member: 14306"] To talk about the cultural matter in France (which I know by experience), I agree with Malika. I will even go further. People are so turned into education, the way of educating and such that if you have a neuropsychologist disorder like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), parents are more often than not blamed for having been the cause of their child's disorder and not wanting him to heal. Many child psychiatrists here think that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ADhD... can be healed and if the child does not want to heal, it's because of his parents who prevent him from healing. (WTH I know. It's the cruel truth we live here). If we ask accommodations at school for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ADHD, sensory issues, you are often told that your child shall not be there but in a specialized school. However, specialized school for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are more prone to get occupational stuff, thinking they will heal earlier or later the children (as parents are to blame). The problem is that children are not receiving proper care, they are only given neuroleptic when they become agitated, angry or such. For this reason, I permit myself to say that here, they give neuroleptic medicines like if they were candies, without even questioning their side effects, whereas they consider giving Ritalin as "making a child become a drug addict". Giving the reason of "parents who pretend to love their child, whereas they don't". Those professional believe to know everything whereas the thing is... they don't. Parents here fight for things to change. It is just starting to move, but change is happening too slowly. About dyslexia, it is wider known than dyscalculia. However, many Maths teachers, psychologists and so say that if a person with dyscalculia, dyslexia, or such have difficulties, it's because they want to have difficulties. Not all are like that, but it's difficult to find a teacher, a health care professional, who understands such problems. Funnily if we want, primary care physicians are more open minded about these kind of problems (not all though, but they are more open minded than specialists). I had to fight a lot, and I know I have to continue the fight. Like many persons in my country. And sometimes, it makes me ashamed of being a French citizen. [/QUOTE]
