[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for being your honesty, OP!  I think that all parents of SN kids feel that way, some more some maybe less, not just high achiever parents.  I have 2 kids who, while not severe SN, have ADHD and Severe Anxiety.  I am not a high achiever at the career game because I had to take care of my DS, selective mutism, severe anxiety, but I was at one point devastated by one A- in college.  My own mother and sister, both high IQ and one a surgeon the other one has her own business, sister has no kids, do not understand how severe my DS's anxiety is, and why I am so "lazy" and took part time jobs nad mostly stayed home. I did it because next year my DS who couldn't speak is going away to college! And I am still worried sick as his anxiety impacts his learning and social skills to the extreme(we are talking anxiety that is not autism because he would occasionally look hold eye contact, on the spectrum.)  Yet, now I wouldn't never change it, never work if that meant my DS  wouldn't have all the help I could give him.  I tested 143 on IW scale, in English which is my third language, and couldn't care less about my career, my kids are my career, but it makes me cry even writing this!  Hugs to all parents here![/quote]
