[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is an interesting topic. Looking back on all of my friends from growing up in the U.S. in the 80s and 90s none had SN back then and I don’t think any were just not diagnosed but do have issues now/later in life.

When I think about my DD’s 5th grade class more than half of her friends have ADHD, dyslexia or other learning differences. I only know this because I was at a moms’ dinner where they were comparing IEP and 504 plans and I was pretty surprised.[/quote]

I have two siblings who very clearly had special needs growing up but it was not something that was ever recognized, diagnosed or addressed. They both made it through school but barely. As adults things went off the rails because they had significant deficits that were never addressed. Both are highly gifted but underemployed, need some level of public assistance and have not been able to maintain a relationship with a significant other.

So those families were there. Sadly,  nobody saw those kids. I can only hope that the interventions I have done with my SN DC will result in a more successful path.[/quote]
