knute974 - I agree and noticed the same thing. I think those of us that live and breath it on a daily basis would agree and it does muddle up a term that to many has a very precise meaning.

When I asked my mom about it she said she hadn't really keyed in on the specific 2e term and just took away the message about how intensities can bring about their own challenges for some kids. Most people that spend time with DS notice this long before they notice his actual 2nd e. Maybe I'll start calling him 3e wink ha ha

Overall it opened a door for my mom and I to actually be able to relate a bit on this so I'll take it.
