It is hard to understand compulsive tasks that a child finds comforting.
It is hard wired into the soul and sometimes acts like a thief of time, and stamina.
Sometimes I have to choose between tasks that most people find easy to complete.
Most days I become a ring master of personal needs that have work arounds, and
there is no way to articulate why I made anger and frustration for those who are waiting for me, counting on me...
Organization lives under the chaos around me. It is overwhelming as I keep order for the activity,study,craft, and contact with others.
So what if there is not an inch of shelf space empty. Rocks,minerals,toys,coins,stamps,marbles, jewelry,comic books,....all part of a subconcious collection. The worth is the same as the value of my soul, and if I could and I will try, to remain open to watching the compulsive child live his way into helping other people like his self.
I just keep begging pardon for my tardiness by explaining that it is an investment for the future.
As the mother of a full inclusion student who has various "disabilities" due to having spina bifida I want to share what I have experienced in order to keep my child in the general education population of students. Most importantly his reaction about children and young adults he has come in contact with who are not in the general ed, but in special day classes. There are many ways to make changes and end discrimination against those with abilities different than what is perceived as normal.
