I am almost certain my son does not have Aspergers or ADHD, but I am just as certain he has several of the characteristics - and the ones he has, he has to a pretty strng degree. Because he is so much like his dad, I am also pretty certain they stem from the same complex makeup of high IQ, dyslexia, dysgraphia and a few other choice learning disorders. I think it is all blended together like the roots of an aspen grove - what you see above ground may look like very different trees, but below the surface they are all of the same system.

It is part of why I've fought to not have him labeled but also fought to have accommodations as if the label were there.
