[QUOTE="buddy, post: 561258, member: 12886"] That was a really nice way to say it. I do think if it just comes up in conversation over time then it is not as big a deal. I have done that too though at first he found out because he heard someone say something about his classroom at school. Your little partner really touched my heart. I am sure you and husband are very very proud. He has such kind parents, so he has that fundamental/core value to care about others, I have experienced your family love for others first hand, it is something so special. I really understand the tears coming on every once in a while yet trying to just go on as if it is just a piece of information.... There is surely a grief component to this. Even though you kind of knew, there is always that little hope or just not the final answer that lets you have an out. Of course it is still not certain what the outcome will be when he is a grown man. Now you know to prepare for as much support as he may need, but you can access therapies and work on skills in a way that matches what you know of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and his individual learning style. He may end up having a more typical life than many neurotypical people have. He has a great chance with you as his mommy, that's for sure. Funny when I read about you saying neuro-typical, when I was at that fund raiser for the ranch/retreat independent living program....two of the adults with asperger's said to me that they have a bunch of DNT friends. I asked what that meant and they said ... Dysfunctional Neuro Typical friends ! I thought that was a GREAT acronym! [/QUOTE]
