[quote=Anonymous]OP - my son has ADHD and a social pragmatic language disability. When he was three, I was riddled with anxiety about his constant over the too behavioral problems. He had no cognitive delays (he's highly gifted) and could be so sweet- but he threw horrific temper tantrums and was *so* defiant. No one could tell me what was going on-- only "wait and see." We didn't receive a definitive diagnosis until the 2nd grade. I won't sugar coat it- some days are very hard. My DS struggles with emotional self control and doesn't fit in socially with his peers. However, he's smart, curious, driven when he wants to accomplish something-- just an an amazing kid. I don't want him to have a hard life- but his challenges are part of who he is- he knows he struggles, and he knows why. He works incredibly hard on things that come naturally to other children. I wouldn't change this roller coaster for any other reason than to help *him* be happier and more content. [/quote]
