[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm I don’t know how I would have answered the question from your DD. I guess I would be surprised my kid knew that phrase to be honest and maybe ask where she heard it and what it meant to her. My kid has ADHD and two other dC so I have referred to her having additional needs in RL to people that I don’t want to get into details with (like co-workers who know I leave early to take her to appointments etc). I have used SN as a short hand on DCUM and one other place on line. My kid knows she’s different. I might try to avoid that label but we have talked since before she can remember about how different people need extra help with different things. Her NT sibling actually need speech therapy we have family members with other things they need specialized help with. I am wondering if she’s going to figure out she has an IEP at some point and that may be harder to explain. Basically I think these terms have whatever weight we give them. Some kids have really significant impact from their ADHD but some don’t.[/quote]
