[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 126830, member: 3072"] Oh wow...great question and I don't know if I can pin point any one thing. I always knew my difficult child would have a harder time with certain things because of her seizures and brain surgery....I just had the misguided idea that her brain would compensate much better than it has. I would have to say that when she was quite young...probably 2, she started having tantrums that were very intense. But as she was my first, I just thought it was part of the "terrible twos" that everyone talks about. I also babysat and when she would see the mom and her daughter drive in, she would be so excited and happy but when they would walk through the door, she would run to her room...screaming and upset only to walk out a couple minutes later and say "hello xxx" as if nothing happened. There are lots of strange things that should have been glaringly obvious to me that I didn't pick up on at the time and I'm sure we miss things that she does now. We live with her so her "norm" becomes our "norm" to an extent as well. When we were in an IEP meeting last year, husband told the team that there are a lot of things they wouldn't get unless they were up on "Abbyology" and I thought the one team member was going to spit his drink on the table:laughing2: [/QUOTE]
