That's not about perception. That feels like love and understanding to me.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-82778359341443003742010-07-14T14:26:55.170-07:002010-07-14T14:26:55.170-07:00How much do I wish that perception would become a ...How much do I wish that perception would become a reality...How much do I wish that things would go away when we don't think about it, although dwelling on them is not helpful either. I also think that recognizing that there is an issue that needs to be addressed is the first step in finding the help she needs and deserved.<br />The fact in itself that she recognizes that she has a problem that she cannot control and that she came to you about it, would be enough for me to look for help. It does not mean that it is a major problem to the medical community but it is a major problem to her now.<br />From what you are writing I also don't see any indication that it is somehow improving on its own.<br />I wish I had any advice at where to proceed from there. Unfortunately it can be an absolute nightmare as parents to know how to proceed in these conditions, when our kids do not fit in any well defined category. How many times did I feel that I wanted to give up when all the Doctors were pulling in different directions, blaming each others for not finding a diagnostic. It is extremely hard to maintain your sanity in these conditions, but the love for your child and the unconditional support of a few friends will help you to pursue the issue.<br />Finally, Lola is a very bright sensitive girl who would more live in the moment that dwell on problems. I think that she knows very well that there is a problem that needs to be addressed and she wants your help in finding a solution. I personally think that the fact that you recognize that her problem is real will already help her a lot, even if it takes some time to find what can really help her.<br /><br />-IsabelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
