done

I think that I am so done taking dd to doctors, looking for answers to questions, hoping for insight, information, assistance?  seems like none is to be had.  I don’t want to "fix" her so much as I keep wondering if there is something I am missing, something that would help her get through each day better?  Should I be pushing her more, forcing her to work on reading?  Paying for an expensive program of tutoring?  Or am I on the "right" path just trying to support her and let her make her way forward, helping her as I can.  I still think that happiness is a worthwhile goal especially for a young teenager with serious developmental delays.

It’s just that not being able to read is such a HUGE barrier especially in the western world, even if she is amazing at her ability to surf the internet and gather information etc. 

I know she doesn’t have any friends of spend much time with kids her age but really junior high is a pretty awful time socially etc.  for kids who are supposedly "normal" or "NT" (neurotypical) is would be a special kind of hell for her if she weren’t homeschooled and why should she suffer to look more normal or fit in? 

Well, on to knitting, I finished the hat for the xtra teen who is no longer living at our house, I gave it to her when she came by to pick up some things she had left behind.  I finished the november square and am well into the december one too.  I decided not to knit a daschund for dd as she didn’t seem too interested:(  I still have the pattern, it looks rather cute IMO.  Haven’t so much as swatched for the baby socks I am planning on making, oh well, but there is still time for those especially for the second baby who isn’t due until the end of next month.
