My son is ll years old and went through the Son Rise program five years ago at Option Institute (with wonderful results). At the time, the team agreed with my husband and me that he was better off in regular school (mainstreaming). This has also been very successful. However, recently Thomas has started to feel inferior to his friends who have an easier time with learning, motor skills, etc.

I would love to hear from anyone who has a high functioning child and how they have approached the situation in terms of discussing the child's diagnosis.

My son is basically a very happy child who (I thank God) is doing well. Howver, I hear that kids can really go downhill at puberty and I'd like to take as many preventive measures as possible.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
