[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to get your daughter professionally evaluated so you can get her an IEP at school. Then the school can provide your DD with the supports and training she needs. This will help her to build the same skills that she needs to be successful in the workplace. It's called executive functioning skills.

People are getting frustrated with you because you're refusing to do the ONLY thing that would help your DD with the issues you've described. Call you pediatrican right now and figure out how to get this going. You're also very gloom and doom about your DD's future but you're refusing to do the things any good parent would do, like get her professionally evaluated.

For whatever reason, it's clear that you just want to talk about your daughter's weaknesses while ignoring 15 pages of advice telling you exactly how to improve the situation for your DD's whole life. Then you glom on to the single poster who is also failing her child in a similar situation and throw your hands up.

Also the posters encouraging you to push your daughter towards low IQ professions don't get it. Your daughter is very bright and would likely be bored in many of these professions. You need to get your daughter evaluated because in many cases like this, your DD will be very strong in certain areas and weaker in others. It's not like she's uniformly at one level.

Please call your pediatrician this minute and find out how to get your daughter professionally evaluated. Children's hospital does this too. This the ONLY correct path. [/quote]
