Dh and I were both group two types. The difference for us is that he, to this day, remains of the mindset that there is a problem with him. I, on the other hand, realized what had been wrong with me my entire life once we figured out what was "wrong" with dd12. It totally changed my view of myself and did wonders for my self image.
Perhaps it was more deeply entrenched for dh b/c he was not a stellar student. I imagine that he could have been dx with a LD but the concept of accepting that the thing wrong with him was not a negative or flaw is not an easy one to swallow for him. He still throws out zingers like, "they've got some of me in them as well. They're really going to struggle" when dd12 has a question about her math, for instance. Well, heck, the kid started accelerated algebra in 8th grade at age 11 and has an A in the class. I don't think that asking the occassional question indicates that she's going to fail math. Fortunately, dd12's self image is pretty intact. We have to watch it more with our little one.
