Now that it's not just me saying it, and we also have a diagnosis, will you stop accusing me of making excuses for him? Please, for the love of the child, inform yourself. Educate yourself. Learn to love him the way he needs to be loved. Stop trying to shape him into your idea of normal. Let him become even more amazing in those areas in which he is a high achiever. Help him, don't fight him. I know you mean well. I know you just want what's best for him. Just... open up your mind a little. Be a little more flexible. I appreciate that you care so much, but I need you to listen to what they have to say. I'm not saying to not challenge him. No way! He's incredibly capable of so much! Let's just learn the how and why of everything. It's the only way.
