[quote=Anonymous]NP here and grateful participant in the SN forum on behalf of my DS-- the folks in this forum have been so helpful to me post-psychoeducational results, private school search and beyond. Someone even name-dropped a specific education consultant who has become an advocate and friend. That said, in real life and in OP's post it is clear that there are a spectrum of levels of involvement that we SN parents take. My advice to OP is that your description leads me to believe that you are smothering your child and not allowing him opportunities to fail (I know it is so hard to see this) and then possibly, hopefully learn to succeed. My DS has some rather serious diagnosed issues but hopefully is dele loping some life skills from his interaction with his peers, neighbors and the world. It sounds like OP wants to save her child from some of this pain or perhaps doesn't have faith that her child will grow from failures. I would say that my DS has suffered some but grown a lot and I hate that it can be so hard sometimes. There is progress though and a plan for him to be an independent, self-sufficient loved and loving man.[/quote]
