Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional SPD and gifted

It could be summed up as:

1. as long as he is physically behind he will feel anxious and there is no treatment for that.

2. physical learning isn't possible (because he's too severely affected and didn't have OT younger, because private lessons are too expensive, because doctors won't help, because people are mean and can't understand, etc. etc. etc.)

In other words: there is no possible solution.

From a distance to me this is summed up as: ANXIETY. There are many thinking errors in evidence here. The reality is that there are disabled children, even very significantly disabled ones, who are successful in activities including Boy Scouts. There are parents of disabled kids who are hopeful rather than ridden with anxiety.

Life isn't fair and we don't all get the same amount of gifts or challenges. A person could objectively have only the most minimal of challenges but see it as a mountain that couldn't be climbed if their anxiety is not under control.

So, for that reason, I respectfully suggest until anxiety is under control it is hard for anything else to be dealt with.
