[QUOTE="LHB, post: 288427, member: 7606"] Yes, we think of my step daughter as the "easy" one. Or, as my husband gloats: "Ha Ha, I got the good one!" His Ex has 16 yo brother who has multiple issues, trouble with the law, expelled from school, etc. Then I have a 23 yo son who has the same issues, but I was uninformed at that time and I just labeled him a 'rebel'. Now he's decided he doesn't really need a family. So sad - I'm detached but havent' seen him for 3 years and I miss him. So, our daughter is our pride and joy and we pray every day she stays that way. And it is a little disheartening to realize she has these seizures. I know there's more than just epilepsy going on, but I'll stick with one step at a a time. I took the recommendation on another thread to Google auditory processing and that seems to be a fit. (Like a billion other diagnosis's seem to be at this point!) We did take her for a hearing test a couple of years ago because she insisted that she couldn't "hear" people. But, of course, her hearing was fine. I now realize that she just can't understand what people say. She thinks I say, "Please hang up your cow." when I said "Hang up your towel." I've asked her why she doesn't just reason it out in her head that I don't want her to hang up a cow. Then I get the blank stare. I'm afraid to tell you that I sometimes lose my patience with her and say, Come on, you're 10 years old, what do you think I said?? Any suggestions on therapy for Mom?! I seriously am looking for something that will help me to remember on a daily basis that she does have a disability and she's not trying to be a brat. [/QUOTE]
