I wish I had known that the issues with my son change year to year (sometimes month to month). (I think this is similar to what eema posted about "dealing successfully with ADHD would not be the end of the issues." For us, we have progressed so far...from a non-verbal 3 year old to a PG 8 year old and it is hard for me as a parent to keep up with the changes. I can't even imagine what it is like for the teachers in the school! The teachers think they have him figured out...and he turns around and does something completely unexpected. That is when we get the call or the meeting question, "Is there something going on at home?" Now I know enough to confidently explain to them that there are always going to be unexpected changes. It is a roller coaster, so don't settle in for a cruise.
