1. You just quoted some of your teacher's from grade school.
2. You may not get organized the way most people do. But I would venture
to guess that if you really think about it, you know exactly were most
of the important things are.

Next I find one other really big thing about you. You will never be boring,
and you are truely intelligent.

I can tell you for a fact there are lots of folks with no organization skills, to
their thinking. And when they went to school they had resource in their
background. But honestly to this day they are functioning better and more
efficiently than many of the brightest in the country.

A. For just one reason they had to fight for everything they got.
B. Someone or somebody thought they were important. Told them they could do what they put their mind to.

And Sharla you tell us some fantastic things, not sure what field your in.
But when your done your going to be fantastic in it.

And I can tell you point blank I know the young man that is just like you.
He is my 23 year old. He started with preschool services.

1. I was told he was mentally retarded. Because he couldn't talk.
a. I politely told the gentlemen that was trying to explain, it was okay
I understood. Because he couldn't say more than 10 words at 3. THat
he had to be classified this way.

2. That it was also okay, because he would get three years of help before
kindergarten. And hopefully at kindergarten would classify as speech delayed
only.

a. To say the least the gentlemen wanted to know how come I was so calm and collected about it.
a. I told him the parents magazine had this in it just a month or so before.
1. He sent his staff out to find that magazine, for that very article,
a was the only parent that had ever told him it was just a title. Not my son.

3. My son is severely ADHD, his favorite carton charactor is/was Batman.
And to this day his 1st grade teachers comments still get told to some parents. She asked me what I did to stop his climbing? I asked what she
meant. She said, Till this day, I could see him climb 6 feet to the top. And
jump or fall back to ground, and climb right back up. All day. Today he
sit in his chair.

A. I said, thank you, you just told me that putting him on ADHD medicine
was the right choice. I had waited till after one day of school to see if they could see a change too.

So the moral of this is, I can relate to you very much. My son is just like you.
He also has some very strong struggles. I really wish I could write a book.
I have 3 son's with three very different disabilities and they are turning into success stories.

Sorry, this wasn't my time.

But you can do it. Just set up what you need.
