I'm sorry, what?

While I understand Strength Based Therapy I do not need to take my son to a "tea party" each week. I need the Therapist to address the messy stuff. She told me that my hostile approach to my son yields no results. Since when did Parental Authority become viewed as hostility? (I'm sorry, what?) Does she need to be shown the true definition of hostile?

I began this blog when my son Zachary was 7

He is a precious little boy with a huge heart. They can label him with Bipolar, Executive Functioning Disorder or Sensory Processing Disorder; but for Zachary, they all say the same thing: "I am trying really hard, but life is difficult for me".

On top of the above diagnoses and social/emotional issues, he also has a genetic condition; a duplication of 22q11.1 which is linked to psychiatric and behavioral issues.

I plan on using this Blog to network Resources, follow progress and show difficulties. Politically I am charging forward to raise awareness and become a voice where it is desperately needed.
