Tegu/Reptile drawings

[BatGirl1]

I have many issues such as anxiety etc. ( can't drive certain places/distances...be in public places 'alone '... go through drivethroughs...drink from open glasses instead of bottles... depression... ) really too many to name, haha. No they are not twins. They are actually many years apart. And the older one is a high functioning autistic. The young one is more severely affected. I have known them for many years and they are def diagnosed correctly and not just kids with behavioral issues or an overboard mom. additionally, i think dubya is not referring to actually medically disabled kids...but kids who are actually capable of controlling their behaviors but have chosen not to because they 'get away with it ' at home. Admittedly there have been times I have fallen into that catagory. Haven't we all(?) And I have encountered both types of children over my maaaannnnyyyyy years on the planet. those with actual disorders definitely do not benefit from harsher discipline. They react adversely / sometimes violently...or 'shut down ' ( like me and one of my daughters).

I am not saying that Aspergers, autism, and ADHD don't exist, but every damn kid seems to have some sort of disorder. Maybe some kids are just good ole fashioned stupid. Not everyone is above average. Stupid adults start out as stupid kids. I remember a lot of them when I was in school. If everyone is above average, then average must be the new stupid. Not everyone can be a rocket scientist. The world needs truck drivers and floor sweepers too.

On a lighter note, I am working on a wonderfully lifelike drawing of Gwangi and myself that I will post on this thread when it's finished.

ADHD is both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed. Half the kids taking medication don't need it, but a lot of the ones who do need it are just seen as "bad kids" and get punished.

Agreed. But some parents do have to understand that their bad parenting is to blame. A lot of people can't seem to accept personal responsibility and need to blame something else for their own failure as a parent. Kids today are growing up so coddled and protected that they can't handle failure. Their brains short circuit when they fail or don't get their way. Giving trophies for losing doesn't help kids. Giving kids fake self esteem is not helping them. They need to learn that winning is good and losing is bad. This is why the Asian kids will be our bosses in a few years.
