[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 390170, member: 7083"] You can time the "Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! SLAM!" with precision the military would like to have. You have one large plate and one salad plate missing. Gone. Not broken, just disappeared. And you have 2 sets of flatware, but only 5 butter knifes and 4 spoons. We have all 16 forks, though. The psychologist who started her practice the year before you were born asks you for ideas. The doctors ask you what medications you would like to try. You hide and/or lock up controlled medicines and still count them everyday. You slip and use the term "difficult child", "psychiatrist", "therapist" in conversations outside the board. You can spot a difficult child in a room full of people within minutes. Or less. You have to print out information on your child's disorder to give to therapist and psychiatrist. There are disorders you can speak about more intelligently than your family doctor. You think, "Well, at least if he's in jail for 30 days he won't be getting into any trouble." When someone says they have an idea, your brain starts scrolling through IDEA 2004. You talk to the school everyday. You totally understand why your 15 year old daughter who hates anything girly *has* to put the shoes on the Barbie doll in the waiting room. You also understand that having to have clothes hung in a very specific order on very specific hangers in the closet does not mean that anything else in the room is neat. Or even anything resembling neat. You have been a broken record for so long that you no longer need to be conscious to know what to say and when. [/QUOTE]
