My son is 11. He was diagnosed as having static encephalopathy, which means an unchanging defect of the brain. It happened during the developmental process. My problem is that a lot of times, I feel like I am going to lose control with him. My other biological child is "normal", and I have never met another parent with a child like him. He is high functioning, attends school with inclusion, and they make some accommodations for him. My problem is that each day, I feel like I have to teach him the same things over and over and over. There doesn't feel like there is any day that I don't have to walk him through what to do step by step. From getting dressed for school in the morning to bathing at night, I feel like I have to be there for him every moment. Is this normal? Am I normal to feel this way? Are there resources or support groups that are available to me that I just haven't seemed to be able to find? I feel like I am going crazy! Any honest help would be appreciated!

given I am not there, and only trying to help over the phone. I have not done this in many years, and cannot remember all of the steps. once the format is complete, and you get back to c:Windows> prompt, what is the next step. everything we put in gives us a response that it is not a supported procedure! any ideas? all I know is that he went in through BIOS, and (we believe) the reformat was a success and he is back at the prompt. from the prompt, he is stuck!
