[QUOTE="SRL, post: 140497, member: 701"] I would never discount the efforts of parents here, but I do think there is an element of what you have mentioned going on. I have put a ton of effort into difficult child but when I trace back to his times when he made the leaps, he did those on his own. I may have given him adaptions to tide him over, and given him time and training, but in the end he made the choices that I couldn't push him into. I also think the roads go all ways. Children with no neurological issues and favorable upbringings can wind up being troubled and/or unproductive adults and visa versa. I was one of three kids in a highly dysfunctional, totally chaotic family with very limited financial resources. My mom has bipolar and my dad has what we think is likely schizophrenia. Against those odds, two of the three of us live stable, productive lives free from mental health issues. The third did have problems before dying in a car accident but he did have brain damage at birth which could have accounted for his neurological problems. [/QUOTE]
