What I know about my isearch questions#2
It's bad enough that I feel like a shmuck for not educating myself on my step-son's diagnosis earlier. Again, he did not seem like your typical Aspergers diagnosis. At least not to me. However, when I get reminded of certain cenarios, I have to stop and really look at the picture. Yes, I understand that he was diagnosed as a child and that I was not there to argue it. Nor was I there to witness his childhood. I needed to educate myself and be more understanding, instead of being stuck on the fact that I do not visibly see it. Apparently the doctors were correct with the diagnosis, right? Yes, they had to have been. Luckily, he was not as severe as some Aspergers could be. And I see him working deligantly at a future for himself. But maybe if I could understand the causes, the differences and the outcomes better, it will show me how to help him or at least be a supportive parent. I did not want him to ever feel that I would treat him differently than the other children, but some children need guidance in different areas than others and it doesn't automatically mean they are helpless or not able to. So I am looking into this as a learning curb for myself to better understand what I can do for my step-son and his future journey in life.

I think a lot of this actually goes in the 'why' section--your motivation, what you want to get out of the topic, etc.
ReplyDeleteIn the 'what' to through your questions one by one and tell us what you think or guess about possible answers right now, before doing any research. Your research may eventually validate or invalidate those early guesses, either way a good outcome.
