At school, the soccer game, or the market, mothers often feel as if their prowess as a parent is on trial at two levels. First, they imagine everyone is watching how their child looks, speaks, walks and behaves. He is their product to be proud of or ashamed of.

As she reached for the receiver, the only thing she really did not know was whether it was the principal or the teacher once again calling to rant about the carnage that Matt had just unleashed. This time it was Matt's teacher boiling with anger about how he had just called his teacher an "f--king idiot" and refused to sit down or do any work. Being well conditioned by this pattern, Sherry already had her car keys in her hand and was walking with the phone toward her car to go pick Matt up.

Children hear stories from their families about who they are. These stories may be positive or negative. Children diagnosed with ADHD, LD or HFA(high functioning Asperger's) hear many stories that reinforce these labels.
