Welcome to Different Learning

Hello - I'm a Mom just like you. I've got a houseful of kids, and I'm a single mom who struggles sometimes.

I have a son who was labelled austic when he was 2 years old. He's in middle school now, and while we have our struggles - the direst predictions have not come true. Zip! is what we'll call him for the blog world. After all, he's stil a kid and deserves to establish his own identity when he's older.

Another child - this one's a girl and she's dyslexic. Let's call her MIP! Though unburderdened with the social problems of an autistic, her disability has caused her stress, trouble with self esteem - and in the end, I believe the soul of a warrior.

Oh yeah - one more kid - We'll call him Chip - he's unburdened by severe learning disabilities - but seems pretty introverted and maybe not a typical child. He's been labelled as ADD, but functions well without medication.

And of course, the more I read, the more I wonder out about my own self. Could I have aspberger's, ADD, etc. And then the more I read, the more I think that everybody does.

Welcome to my world!
