[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650928, member: 1550"] Well, Sonic was never normal...lol. He was different and really kids liked him, typical kids and atypical kids. He's just very nice and pleasant. Got very little teasing even being special needs and one of the very few black kids at his school. Our special eds are all different and there is testing and different curriculums for each kid in the different Special Education classrooms. Sonic learns best in a small environment with somebody around in case he doubts himself. But he's not a scholar. He has an average IQ, but the autism made certain learning issues harder for him. He did graduate with a good GPA, but in no way was interested in going onto college. Some ASDers do. It is usually quite a challenge. Sonic is doing very well considering the drugs he ingested before his birth and the dire predictions of the psychologists who met him when he was little. He has surpassed every goal anyone predicted for him and I'm truly, truly proud. He is a very hard worker and does not feel sorry for himself at all. Sonic could not finish college. However, if he were a gifted athlete, like your son, and the pros wanted him, he would definitely be able to function in THAT world, at least as far as performance and getting along with the other people go. I don't know much about the other parts of professional sports, but I can easily see an athletically gifted atypical neurological young man doing quite well as a pro athlete. Sonic is actually an above average athelete and does play sports with others...nobody is going to draft him anytime soon, but athletics are much easier for him (and more interesting) than academics. Our neurologically different young men are very interesting. You must have done the richt thing for ache (I laugh so hard at the names you picked for your boys). Seriously, though, he is really doing well. So there is no need to second guess yourself. [/QUOTE]
