After posting this I did start my own library search, saw a lot of articles connecting both issues to ADHD. Unfortunately, every time I read the words learning disabled, language disorder, special education... I start to get upset.I know I have to learn tolerance for these labels, but I needed to withdraw from it a little bit.I let these labels affect me and my perspective the same way that let my ped doc's immediate assumption that my son has a behavioral problem piss me off. My son does not misbehave and he does really well in school--he is NOT disabled. There are just some things I see that he is struggling with and may need a different approach.Unfortunately, if you speak up and ask for help, attitudes change and labels start being used and I guess I then get pissed.
