well, i just read MWM last post.
she summed up my difficult child EXACTLY.
i do mean, exactly.
and much more concisely than i ever could.
I understand her. People tend to think their kids should be in some group, but loners tend to HATE the idea of groups of people and do better one on one and with people THEY choose. She sounds a lot like I was I was also very creative and HIGH ANXIETY!!!!
I was also different. I never envied "popular" kids. I felt sorry for them, didn't want a thing to do with them. They seemed to be so mean to each other. Plus I thought they were full of themselves and too often int he limelight, which I did not want. One thing I liked and still like about myself is that I'm very unique...however, I do not do well in groups of people (although I can do great one on one with the right people).

oh you're sweet, I didn't take it personally just realized I didn't feel like I wrote my post very clearly....the downside of typing, no intonation to help. If any of you heard me, I am usually pretty middle of the road, not too ruffled about little things, and I love the opinions we share, if we all said the exact same thing then we wouldn't have options to choose from that help our individual situations. I love that about this group. Wish IEP teams would take a page from everyone here that way!buddy, I think you're great I was not really talking about you...just in general
