I think if I can just let myself be ok with the fact that this is just how ds is...it's a part of him and nothing that I have to remediate, I'll feel better.
And I think that he'll feel better too. It is a gift to accept people for how they are, even if you set your intention for things to be better in the future.
I'll tell you a funny story. All through elementary school, the school folks complained that DS was 'too emotional.' There was a 'we have to teach him now so that he can handle bigger challenges when he is older.'
Then he got to middle school and basically stayed the same, but now no one complained, because all the kids were the exact same way!
As DS put it: 'It's as though all my friends have PMS every day of the month, and that's just the boys. The girls are worse!'
Nice to finally have some company.
