[quote=Anonymous]My 20 and 15 year old kids have always had lovely personalities, high IQs and are growing into responsible adults. BUT Oldest has autism and ADHD with low processing speed. I am expecting that he will be fired from some jobs because he's so slow and forgetful. He will need to find an understanding workplace who values his intellectual contributions despite the low productivity. Youngest has a serious chronic autoimmune disorder she will have to deal with. I hope she can work as an adult and not be too disabled. She's quick-witted and very functional apart from when she gets flares from her disease. Our genes were handed down and led to these mental and physical diagnoses. There was a birth incident for DC1, but also plenty of genetic predispositions to ADHD and autism in the family, so I can't say for sure how much the birth incident played into his symptoms. It clearly didn't help. [/quote]
