Sociable Diseases

Sociable diseases seem to be the type suspected by schools when your kids don't conform. Son #2 (5) was cleared by a child psychiatrist yesterday - he does not have Aspergers disease. Son #1 (11), was thought to have ADD, but none of us can remember what the Psychologist said. Daughter (15) beat the system by getting diagnosed with mild Dyslexia, which meant they gave her an extra half an hour to do her GCSE s , and she got straight As. I shudder to think what labels I might have picked up, if we'd bothered back then - I'm happy to be comfortably warped....but unhappy to be considerably out of pocket finding new experts to say that the last one didn't know what they were talking about.Good news about the little bloke though.

My son is an angel but can turn into an absolute monster at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, it is not the result of a medical condition as far as I know, unless being 5 is a medical condition........... Angela
