Thats' the truth - this is the one place to go where you don't have to get anybody caught up or clued in. Even if you tell friends and loved one's about the disorder, they aren't as likely to really get it as someone who's wearing your shoes. ( Ifeel like we have the same kid : (
I introduced my son to a good friend of mine last week, who've I've told about the disorder. Her comment was," Oh , he's so cute and charming." Well, yeah, he is.....
While my own son is my biological child, my understanding is that there may be a higher incidence of disorders among adoptees. P's generally don't make good parents - their kids may be more likely to be adopted.
My son has embezzled thousands out of banks, car dealerships, 'friends'...I understand how much you'd like to be able to stop that behavior.
Glad you've popped over to the main message board, where everyone can 'meet' you : )
