[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 544083, member: 14557"] This is of course very true. And my difficult child did have troubles with social skills before he was bullied. But we will never know if he would had learned better if he would had had better chances to practise. And because his lack of social skills he was easy and tempting victim for bullies. Both for those who either get some excitement from bullying or who are trying to rise in pecking order by bullying. And then there were those who just didn't know how to treat a kid who 'just didn't get it.' Or plainly didn't like him. As I said difficult child has these atypical traits when it comes to attention. But he can manage his attention little better than what would be ADHD. He is borderline in this but mostly can manage his attention enough to do also 'typical attention' if he chooses to and if not too tired or upset. He definitely has ADHD traits but it has never been in degree that would had warrant a diagnosis. Of course he really benefited his ability to hyper focus. Helps a lot with his sport and makes it possible for him to pull off all kinds of 'last minute miracles' with school. [/QUOTE]
