    This is a really good article, talking about a new book which I think I'm going to order.

    The article is definitely worth a read in that it talks about how even those who should be most supportive -- therapists, teachers -- sometimes completely miss the mark.

    :| Even though our lives are totally different that kid kind of reads like me.

    From the feather boas and Build a Bear (tho I never did get to go, I still ask :frowning2: ) to the learning problems...the funny thing is I wonder alot if I had parents, or a different lief if so much would still be going on with me, now I guess I kind of have my answer.

    I haven't finished the article, I read to slow to get done before school, so I"ll have to read the rest later. Thanks for the link, Chip.
