So as we near the reality I feel as if we will be designated to hear I diagnosis of Attention Deficit. I know it could be so much worse of something to hear and come to gripes with. I called my brother yesterday whom was diagnosed with the same as a young child and still feels to this day he is challenged with ADHD, and his insight was incredible. He warned to cautiously use wording. He described knowing that he was different than others. But to use the word "special" to him meant so much more and he also expressed that if a subject was ordinary, than that topic just was not worth the effort. Subjects that are hands on or something new was all the difference. He told stories of how he did not feel medication helped him in his mind but might have helped with his hyperactivity. I spent the entire day yesterday, searching for the best practitioners to reach out to and support groups to surround our family with.
For Peter today was a day where as soon as he came home we had to immediately go back up to school again to collect all his homework. And then the homework went on and on and on...
I feel Dave is coming to gripes with this as well and where I once believed he was in a state of denial I feel he is dealing with Peter in a different light and having compassion for what I am trying to do with Peter during the days. He still cannot tell though like I can when Peter is seeming acknowledging the discussion when in reality I can tell his mind is somewhere else and he has no clue to the discussion involving him.
