[QUOTE="Fran, post: 135277, member: 3"] Marguerite, I didn't think any such thing. I was just sharing my experiences with the mother/daughter team. Although I never had a nanny, I took that to mean that we need others to help with the work of raising our special children. It helped me to search for supports and frequent breaks to recharge. Temple still had to be reminded about hygiene as an adult. It gives me hope that difficult child's weaknesses can be worked on while his strengths continue to be his strengths. I could see the emotional growth from the time TG wrote "Emergence" to the time she wrote "Thinking In Pictures". In the first book it was all about Temple and how she grew. Not much gratitude for others help and support. The second book is much more diplomatic with many references to others help. I think there was 10yrs between them. One of the lines that helped me understand my difficult child was something like this. Temple had grad students at her ranch in Colorado. One commented,"it must be wonderful to see such spectacular sunset over the mountains"(I'm not sure this is the exact quote) Temple realized that they were seeing something she wasn't seeing. It was just the sun going down as it did everyday. She didn't see or feel the awe that a NT might feel. Thinking differently is a difficult concept to understand. Her books really helped me look at the world through difficult child's eyes. [/QUOTE]
