Psychology has been very helpful to me in dealing with my son. I think someone should offer me an honorary Ph.D. for all the hours of work I have put in raising him - school meetings, participation in treatment teams, medication management, one-on-one support and counseling ...

It is ironic that I started college as a Special Ed major but switched to Psychology because I decided I didn't want to work with kids with special needs (it tore me up emotionally) and here I have spent all these years as a parent of one, more intensely involved than any teacher would ever be. (Teachers, after all, go home at night and leave the kids they work with, and they get vacations, and they get to retire.)
