Introduction
It's like a miracle to me that my son has finally completed
writing his one year journey of China. It's hard to believe that a
boy who brought home report cards since elementary school
containing teachers comments such as;"a bright boy,
but..."disorganized," "does not work up to his potential," "is
using reading to escape," "has little motivation to be part of the
class," "does not follow instruction," "can not stay on task," has
now finished this big project of writing a book......... "Hidden
disability" is a killer that produces a huge amount of
misunderstanding for sufferers and contributes to their
frustration, depression, even self-destruction. In my son's case,
we used to think he had no motivation or was looking to escape,
while he felt overwhelmed with information and would retreat due to
his slower informational processing compared to the neural typical
person. We thought he was just simply "lazy" or to attached to the
internet and other distractions with a lack of self control when he
did not hand in homework, while, in reality he had difficulty to
extend his short attention span. We thought he did not pay any
effort or even try when he could not learn how to tie his shoe
laces or how to sweep up a room, while actually he was struggling
with weak motor skills and poor body coordination. We thought he
lying when he denied things when the truth was starring him in his
face, such as denying not brushing his teeth when we could see his
tooth brush was bone dry. We thought he was so rude when he showed
some awkward speech or other socially unacceptable behavior, while
he had no way to understand a neural typical person's standard and
lack of the social skills to start, carry, and end a conversation.
Worst of all, we thought he is such a disrespecting rebelling
teenager when he mumbled or gave a "don't know" to any questions he
was asked, while he is actually lacking the abilities in
comprehension and verbal expression.
