[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My popular, funny, athletic middle schooler has dyslexia, discalculia, and disgraphia. Every class is a struggle for him. Every single one, every single day, since kindergarten. Not that you’d know it from the outside, though. You don’t know what other people go through, OP. There are other ways to suffer other than social exclusion (though I know personally how horrible it is, and I send good thoughts to you all).[/quote]

I have a child with special needs and a number of parents of kids with LDs, anxiety and other challenges have shared their struggles. You wouldn't know it from the outside because their children are very popular, athletic, good looking and "cool"  but some of them are really struggling.[/quote]

And keep in mind, there are also kids like mine who have a host of LDs, struggle every day at school, and also don’t have strong social skills. My DD has dysgraphia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. School is hard, sports are hard, social interactions are hard. She also spends most of her free time on her computer. I want to push her to do more but then I also think, my god, what a relief it must be for her to have all the pressure off for a while. [/quote]

I wish your DD and my DDcould meet! They sound very similar.[/quote]

I do too!  [/quote]
