7% Nat was a beautiful baby, with tufts of white blond hair and violet eyes. But almost immediately, there was the rumble of distant thunder.
10% “Nat should be able to do more.” Silence (from my husband). And then “Well, he can’t he’s his own person, that’s all. Don’t compare him to (his cousin) Quinn.” “I can’t help it. It doesn’t seem right. He can’t play.” “He can play! He just did!” The tension between us grew.
12% Overlooking his eccentricities, we began to feel confident that he was actually gifted. A tiny seedling of hope unfurled within me.
13% To me, it was like a bad dream. Our sunny, silent, compliant little boy was changing into a stormy, loud, difficult child.
My friend Merle said, “I think you need to take him to your pediatrician and talk to her about this.” “I’ve tried to talk to her!” I said to Merle. “She doesn’t think there’s anything wrong!” Merle shrugged.
