[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 176518, member: 1991"] Sabrah, "easy child" (here) stands for "Perfect Child". I hear you about wanting to get any problems your son has, sorted, identified and dealt with. The trouble is life is more complicated than that. Also, of the stuff we're generally dealing with here, nothing is curable or even 100% maskable. If it were, we'd be living the life described in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" with various caste groups modified/managed chemically and by behaviour modification techniques. I look back on my childhood and consider myself a easy child. And yet I brought a lot of baggage with me from my childhood. And now when I look at the kids and their Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) issues I can see how some of their characteristics could have been inherited from me. I may have been easy child, but I had certain oddness which could have been a bit borderline. None of us is ever totally "normal". There are degrees of sanity, degrees or normality and the same with various "disorders". We treat what we can as best we can, we try to manage otherwise and help our children with whatever they need help with. A chemical fix is not always an option and is rarely a 100% option. Maybe one day we will have street corner diagnostic booths where we can take our children, plug in a coin and the machine assesses the kid, calculates weight, height, age etc and spits out a pill which completely eliminates any problem symptoms, permanently. Until then - we have to keep working with what we have got. And at the level we can work, it no longer really matters much which came first, the chicken or the egg - we're still dealing with farm produce, that's about as much detail as we can take on board! Until we have more answers, we all just have to roll with the punches and deal with each crisis as it turns up. We can try to head off the more obvious ones we see coming, but sometimes there's not much we can do to stop a train wreck. All we can do is organise the emergency services as effectively as possible. Marg [/QUOTE]
