Or...I can't imagine sitting still for 2 hours. Or anyone else sitting still for 2 hours. <br /><br />I'm a little concerned about the "undoing" bit. We can't undo any part of our past...just build on it and learn from it. <br /><br />I'm dyslexic. I spent my first 10 years of school (various private church schools and boarding school) being told I was slow, stupid and disruptive. I was certainly not the first two but I was disruptive. Because I was frustrated as hell. And it wasn't until my one year in public school when I was finally diagnosed. And I had someone explain that it wasn't a disability. I simply see the world different. All it took was one teacher (a public school teacher) to tell me I wasn't stupid or slow. I was 15. I started to thrive in school. <br /><br />Your son will be okay. You will be okay. The struggles make you all stronger. <br /><br />I still can't add or spell in my head. But I can work out at least 20 different ways to solve a problem. I can pull out patterns everyone else misses. I can look at a picture of something and figure out how to reproduce it in another medium. My brain is just wired differently. I'm perfectly fine with that. I'd still like to go back to my 8th grade math teacher and strangle him for calling me stupid.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258322944946475959noreply@blogger.com
