grrrr on your behalf, vw.
I hope Lee found the Lush store.
Aidan is mildly autistic. I guess he walked funny only being mildly cp and had to balance it somehow.
According to the doctor, we need to get him into pre-school as soon as possible and view all his oddities as strengths starting now. She was quite pleased with his ability to concentrate on things despite everything going on around him, as well as his ability to count to 23 and sort books according to his own system. She says he's going to be brilliant.
I'm sorry, Deena. I'm glad the news isn't terrible, but I'm sorry it isn't "What are you worrying about, he's fine!"
Yay, Aidan!
t waving the full-ride Harvard scholarship acceptance letter from the future
"What are you worrying about, he's fine!"
THAT is what I was really expecting. Thanks, Betsy.
Connie... you make me laugh.
What Betsy said. {{{Deena}}}
Oh {{{Deena}}}. I'm so sorry, love. But, I'm glad that the doctor is pleased with so many things. That is SUCH a wonderful sign.
How are YOU doing?
brenda, that's a good idea. I did find the e-mail address for the "president" of their organization, though. So, I'll try that first. And if it doesn't work, I'll go that route.
Deena, exactly what Betsy said. And, of course he's going to be brilliant!
~ma to Susan, her dad and her mom (and all her family really). I hope for the best possible outcome.
Oh Deena, I'm glad to hear he's only mildly autistic, and that he seems to be doing well developmentally. But still. You amaze me, you really do.
So what do they recommmend looking for in a preschool?
Also, much ~ma to Susan and family. You all are in my prayers.

I have several LJ friends who are on the spectrum, and they manage to get stuff done. They're not all "high-functioning," either. One takes as many of his college classes remotely as he can, and he's aiming for a career with minimal personal contact so he won't go into overload. He didn't get that aversion training that's all the rage in some circles, either, and from what I hear, he's better off for it.
