Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

All I can say is that I like all of my children the older they get, but watching my AS son grow is just amazing. When he was 4 this idiot stupid jerk of a neurologist told us to institutionalize him, that he was hopelessly retarded, would never have friends, etc etc. His ability to read (since age 2) was a freak splinter skill, useless to him without social skills, and no more meaningful than a trout learning to tell an artificial fly from a real one. SIGH.

Well, everything he said is wrong. My son is just going to be fine. He'll have two sisters to help him when we're gone, if he needs help. He may not. I begin to think he may do better in life than any of the rest of us will!
