[quote=Anonymous]My oldest was born premature, had a global developmental delay, and needed an IEP for K-11th grade for severe ADHD, autism and low processing speed. We had to recenter our entire lives around his needs, which demanded our attention for all his waking hours, apart when he was in school. He worked really, really hard, and got into a nice college. Life will always be a challenge for him, and we will always need to help him. I have a neurotypical second child, with a chronic physical disease, who has been so much easier to parent. She's an angsty, talking-back teen now, and we need to be vigilant about her disease symptoms, but OP, it's NOTHING compared to what we went through with our oldest. NOTHING. I don't mean to be that annoying person who points out all the terrible scenarios that you should compare yourself to. But I just want to give you some perspective. [/quote]
