Help me

When you have a Socratic relationship with your teacher, that means your teacher allows you to learn by asking him/her questions. The teacher is always encouraging to the student.

I'm glad.

I reread your original post, and I am wondering whether maybe a social group would help. It seems like the other kids making fun of you might be at least as much a problem as the student teacher, and if you are lonely it might offer you some acceptance.

You seem courageous. I hope you find the support and help you want. Oh....as a mom, I can't help saying this....don't forget your mom! It sounds like you can talk to her and she cares. Maybe she can help.

Depends on definition. But by some you two are in the same generation - the millennials.

And Petersen_1953, I don't see how Sethno was vindictive. Am I missing something? Don't know what he'd want revenge for.

When I said vindictive, I meant it to mean bitter. If you look up the word on Google, one of the last synonyms is bitter.

Doesn't strike me as bitter to question something like that.

It can be very hard to find a professional to assess, is often expensive, and rather than being a transparent process, often seems quite capricious.

I think Sethno really was worried for you that your mom might have been guessing on her own without a professional guiding her and that that could lead to frustration for you later if people said "suspected" about you.

There are no guarantees in life and even with the most thorough diagnostic process, people can reevaluate later and give different labels. I think it matters more that your mom and you feel you get the support you need.
