I am feeling so incredibly frustrated and sad for my DS9. We found out yesterday that he did not make the school robotics team. He has been looking forward to it all year and is so disappointed that he did not make it.
What is frustrating and sad is that I feel like there is no area in which he is rewarded for his abilities. The 2e (ADHD and disorder of written expression) always gets in the way. He doesn't get good grades (although he usually knows the material, just can't get it on paper), all the clubs and teams at his school require tryouts that include written tests and essays, and he is not good at sports. I feel like he is met with discouragement every where he turns. It just makes me want to cry
