@irene5 My son and daughter were never diagnosed because my husband was opposed so they both did the best they could. My son had a teacher in first grade who was not like you at all. She had two very bright sons, then had two more about 7 or 8 years later. She had just come back from leave when she had my son in 1st grade. She could not deal with him at all and his confidence really took a hit. She would send "sad grams" to me almost every day with inane things like saying he spoke in the hallway! He always had more trouble on days when they had no outdoor recess.
