I agree. Once you get past that "Is s/he or isn't she, and what do I do about it if s/he is?" I think you get more confident about your choices. Last year I was the one seeking people out to talk to about my situation at our GT parent group meetings; this year, people are seeking me out to discuss their kids.

That's not to say that you don't cycle through if things change or a new problem develops--as seems to happen a lot with these kids! crazy --but I think that by that time you've sort of figured out a support system for yourself and it isn't quite so hard and scary.
