Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Systematic Desensitization over summer break?

I feel odd saying "congratulations" on clear diagnosis of a disability. But my goodness it's a wonderful thing to turn confusion and chaos into something that makes sense and gives you a path forward.

Your advocacy is inspiring. You should consider printing these threads and keeping them. When your daughter is a mother she might find them interesting.

Thanks for all the words of support and encouragement. Yes mon this situation did indeed appear hopeless at times. I can't even tell you how many hours of sleep I lost or how many tears I shed this summer. It is such a helpless feeling to see your child being placed in a bad situation and have logic and common sense fall on deaf ears!

I really can't thank everyone here enough. At most times in this process I have been the most well informed person in the conversation and have rarely been taken by surprise. This is because of the generosity of the people on this board. It has truly been a life saver hearing your reasoned voices of experience. I can only hope that by documenting my journey I am in some way helping another parent. Paying it forward...

Paying it forward is definitely how this gets done for our kids. It's how I learned, and why I am here.

Pemberley, you went from zero to expert on this stuff in very little time. You are extremely impressive.
