When he was 2 they weren't sure if he'd ever talk, and boy does he talk now. Hang in there, there is a world of difference between 3 and 9...it only gets better. <br /><br />Let's hope by the time our boys are adults, opportunities for them will have greatly improved.

I too read the article. I depair that he'll end up penniless in subsidized housing after me and my husband are gone. I don't think my son is a savant, but I do think he's smart. He's moderately impaired. I have no idea what my son's adult life will look like, and that causes me heartache.

Both boys are now college grads, working and learning to deal with social interactions. Theo's time will come, too!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858949823753492863noreply@blogger.com
