[quote=Anonymous]The whole atmosphere of hyper-achievement and academic competition in this area is toxic for everyone I think, although perhaps the parents of SN kids are in a position to see it most clearly. For me, having been super-successful myself has made it easier in some ways to imagine and support a different kind of life for DS. Running on this hamster wheel certainly doesn't make me happy, even though I've done about as well at it as anyone could reasonably expect to do. So I am going to do my best to help DS understand that that stuff isn't ultimately all that important and, when it becomes financially and professionally possible, hope to move somewhere a little less crazy.[/quote]
