I'm grateful for cac's support the last few days. S4's teacher thinks that he might have Sensory Processing Disorder (a neurological disorder). I've been reading as much as I can find on the disorder, talking to other moms, and trying to arrange for evaluations. My feelings have ranged from sadness and fear (there's something wrong with my child), to relief (maybe this is why he seems "different" than other kids sometimes), to guilt (why didn't I follow up on my gut feelings sooner), to sadness again, and more guilt, to determination that we will figure it out and get him whatever treatment he needs.
cac has been listening when I want to talk and that is just what I need right now. So thanks, C. :-*
