We encouraged, tutored, did everything we could think of. But then, because of life and work, we moved, and we moved and we moved, and all the moving broke her little heart. Then we stumbled upon a wonderful man...the dean of admissions at her school in Atlanta. He looked at her test scores and said "something needs to be done, and I know the person to do it". So off my baby with the laughing eyes went and met Wendy, and Wendy said, I know what your issue is, because I have it to. So Wendy and Jessica lived in their own world and found a way for Jessica to function in the school of this world. And she soared. <br />I once asked my Wednesday child what ADD was like and she said Mum, you will be in class and the teacher will tell you tomorrow you have a very important exam and here's everything you need to know about it, and I am going to tell you this only one time. But outside, on a branch is a little bird, and he is singing his heart out, and you just can't not watch the bird.<br />Now I know that may sound silly and irrelevant, but it explained her world to me...and after that we knew how to help her.<br />Now, Amy...I wouldn't change one single thing about my Jessica. She functions in life entirely outside of what everyone considers normal...but what's the big deal about normal?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317808419889516476.post-12160921561865744032012-03-26T15:49:01.920-07:002012-03-26T15:49:01.920-07:00Thank you.

To me, you are seeking out the best of what's already there and the potential of all that she can be.
