Recently, I just concluded a book study with the women’s ministry at church. The book:
Soul Print by Mark Batterson
It was a good book, but some of it really hit home with me. For instance:
“perceived disadvantages often prove to be disguised advantages because they force us to develop attitudes and abilities that would have otherwise gone undiscovered.”
Like, a dyslexic who develops a proficiency at oral communication, a deaf boy who becomes a composer . . . ah hem . . . Beethoven.
So, according to this, Alyssa’s CAPD and resulting social issues and depression could cause her to develop other skill sets and, I have to say, that ray of hope might as well be a glorious rainbow!
So, let me take just a minute to brag. Although my child has CAPD and is disabled in some areas of understanding, she still maintains very good grades at school (she has maintained A/B honor roll for 2/3 quarters so far), so there must be compensatory skills being developed somewhere.
