[quote=Anonymous]I have a co-worker with kids the same age as mine. The kids have hung out at events together. We have talked about the kids and how very, very similar the kids are. This mom, jokingly mentioned how we could just switch kids and probably not notice that much. DS has an ADHD-inattentive diagnosis that this mom knows that we've been dealing with since DS was 6 or so. I've gently re-iterated several times how similar the boys are, the similar struggles in school, and behavior. I pretty much gave up trying to get her to see that her son needed to be tested when the school chose to hold her son back and she cried fowl and that she had no idea that he was going that bad. I asked about it and she just kept pointing the finger at the school, when her son had clearly been struggling. Now that her son has repeated a grade and has made the honor roll many times, she thinks he's ready to skip ahead. The kid still has the same struggles. The only real positive outcome is that she did concede that her son has to be handled a certain way to avoid complete meltdowns.[/quote]
