[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the money for it, but chose not to hire one for my oldest who is twice exceptional (high IQ, autistic, uneven high school profile). It's because at the end of the day, I realized I knew him better than anyone, and if I did my research, I would be in the best position to make a list of appropriate colleges, cajole him into writing the best essays, edit them for him knowing his strengths and weaknesses, and remind him of all the deadlines. Which is what I did, and he ended up at a wonderful university that is perfect for him.

My second child has a very stereotypical Asian over-achiever profile. I haven't decided yet, and indeed it may be too late already for a wraparound package, but perhaps consulting on certain strategies might be useful to make her stand out. Not sure, though. I don't like wasting money! Maybe I can still be the consultant she needs.

My point is: first, don't feel guilty about hiring one, and second, maybe YOU are actually the best consultant for your child!
