[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 306155, member: 1233"] I am sure you are probably right. But things can and do work out. It would be MuCH better if daughter in law talked to him and interacted with him. It really sounds like she doesn't know how to be a mom on the interactive part. She loves him, takes care of his physical needs, but doesn't get that he needs other things. in my opinion SHE may have some Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) leanings. It almost seems like she is just doing what her sister does, looking to her sister to see how a married woman acts. Thus when her sister divorced she needed a divorce too. Does that make sense? It just seems that maybe she doesn't quite "get" the social cues and maybe doesn't have a pool of friends to model her behavior after. So she acts the way her sister does (may be intensely frustrating to her sister). I do want you to remember that kids with problems did grow up and find ways to succeed even before interventions happened. My dad is clearly an aspie. He grew up with a lot of cousins who wrote off his strange things as 'just him'. he was a very successful teacher with decades of students who still come and find him to say thanks. My husband has a sister about a year younger than he is. He did not talk or make many sounds until SHE started to talk. Her first words were at about 9 months old, according to the baby books. HIS first words were about a month later - when she was 10 months old and he was 24 months old. Once he started speaking there were no problems that anyone at the time would have treated. He has a very full vocabulary, and loves to read and write now. So this isn't "the end" for george. He will take the world at his own pace. Just be there however you can. [/QUOTE]
