I'm so glad you met her and your isolation was lessened.<br /><br />I'm also glad that you have found some success in the routes that you have taken, including medication. About a year ago, we made the choice to have our son "try out" Concerta, a medication for ADHD. It was hard as the internet and strangers can give you so many reasons why it's so awful to consider - and yet, for us, it made a profound difference. We were lucky that Brayden's symptoms weren't "radical" to begin with, but to be able to see him gain success in areas we didn't really expect, it's just been so amazingly affirming.<br /><br />My best friend's son, who is 6, has autism - potentially Asperger's - though they aren't as concerned with the specifics as they are with the progress. Adam has very mild issues, but in some ways, I think that it has its own form of difficulties, in that he is able to exist in group settings, but not "quite fit in". (Not to mention the emotional struggles with a son who does not exhibit a great deal of affection, and tends to shy away from interaction). <br /><br />While I can't say I've walked in your shoes at all, based on my friendship with Lisa, my eyes have been dramatically opened. Once again, I'm thankful for the ways that God has revealed his blessings to you!StephieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543298283557610542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017244.post-70152868086355849202010-03-01T16:35:37.388-05:002010-03-01T16:35:37.388-05:00So sweet!

I know how isolating it can be to have a child with "issues." <br />I'm also glad that he's doing better, and that your walls have remained relatively hole-free! :-)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034180396689442335noreply@blogger.com
