Usually I'm the one saying these things...
Back in the olden days when it was safe to have online ADHD and Aspergers parents support boards (far enough back in the olden days that PDD-OS and ADHD and Pediatric Bipolar and Aspergers were not fully differentiated) a woman named Susan Setley (Who wrote "Taming the Dragons" about learning disabilities) told me that high intellectual, artistic, social or musical ability should be considered a complicating factor for kids with learning disabilities or neurological differences because they make it easy for schools to ignore the problem. And no matter what the law says, the way funding is written it is in the schools interest to deny services to as many kids as possible, because they just aren't given the funding to provide the services needed.
Oh well: back to chickens: I am about to go out and put as much of the chicken coop together as possible, rain and wind be blowed. I found this morning that Home Depot does not make slant cuts in plywood (the cowards) so I'm making the top slanty bit of the west wall out of board and batten from cheap hemfir 1X4 or whatever we're calling it these days. Also, when did the era of buckets full of carpenter's pencils all over the lumber yard go? I got up too early this morning and have been bumbling around like a drunken bumble bee all morning, and having to do math in my head becayse I've stripped all the pencils out of my purse was NOT FUN.
Those chickens better appreciate this.
