So many have helped and supported me on this board. I am so grateful to all of them.
But my child and I really owe a huge debt of gratitude to Polarbear and Lori H. Because of their willingness to share so much and take so much time, my DS's challenges were discovered/identified (I knew what to look into and what specialists to see because of them) and I was able to get the challenges strongly accommodated for and remediated prior to 2nd grade, which is wonderful. He could have languished for years and had God knows how many misdiagnoses.
Also following other's stories is so helpful - Pemberley, Blackcat... Just reading your struggles gives me strength and ideas/information. Nautigirl always makes laugh. Howler Karma always has such good insight and her wit cracks me up. I couldn't imagine where would be if it were the times before internet and I didn't have this resource. Oh and Jon Law... he cracks me up too.
