[quote=Anonymous]Op, I understand where you are coming from. This advice to get over your own anxiety is so useless.

I have twins, one with lds and one without. It was very painful for the child with lds to see how easy it was for his sibling to make and keep friends. He was aware very quickly that he was slower academically than his peers and sibling. We taught our kids to support one another and that helped. We explained our dc's disabilities to both children at a young age. It was painful to watch how adults treated the well behaved but different child with lds.

As teens, the child with lds has areas in which he excels over his nt sibling. That child has blossomed as a teen.  I've cut many friends and acquaintances out of our lives because my ld son was invisible to them. He began to notice that some adults treated him differently by 1st grade. I had no other strategy as trying to kindly educate adults about the matter never worked.

It's another thing you will survive.  Good luck. It is heart breaking and I hope you aren't discouraged from voicing your concerns here.[/quote]
