[QUOTE="No More Rabbits!, post: 101991, member: 4369"] OH I agree with you on lot of points. I do think that he has 'adapted' assumed a veneer. I sometime think I should tape one of his rants and hand it to a professional! He's decided to get an A* in German to show his teacher he can do it. She thinks he can anyway (she told me so) I think he secretly likes her...even though he pretends not to. SIGH. All of my kids are great at languages - a gene which skipped me entirely - I'm just taking a break from my language homework for tomorrow (I'm doing an evening class) We're going to get him some arabic stuff for Christmas. A book and a CD or a CD rom. I'm sure he could learn latin to, but he has switched preference for the time being. My difficult child is just like yours, seen and heard and it's in and there for good. It's quite scary. He's very interested in politics and stuff. He can remember all the names. His history teacher seemed to think I'd been leaning on him FORCING HIM to learn WW2 stuff from the age of dot. In reality he spent a month or so one year, lounging on the sofa of an evening watching the history channel till the programmes started to repeat....his knowledge of dates, names, places is all filed away. I know about Cerebal Palsy - it's the same here, it's not correct to use the word spastic here in UK either. It's unfortunately one of those words that a lot of kids (teenagers) use as an insult, or to say you are being ham-fisted doing something. I think it's a bit of a hot potato for him as a lot of the kids at the hospital when we made the many visits when he was younger, did have CP or similar 'obvious' external mobility problems. I agree with you - he has RAGE against the world at the moment! I've ordered the Explosive child....can't wait to read it. Thanks for your input. Much Appreciated. Regards [/QUOTE]
