Thank you, Pachy! I try to tell my kids and their parents that just because the kid has shown to have a disorder or has a genetic predisposition behind the problems they have, does not mean there isn't anything that can be done about it through hard work and a healthy dose of creativity. All too often, they parents act like you have given the child a life sentence, and most of the time, it's far from the truth.
As to me, I know there are both genetic and environmental roots to my problems, and I still have to do something about them. No getting off the hook here! My choices might be limited by certain factors, but I still have the ability to choose, and choose I shall!
