Another addendum lol: *applauds your intuition* I would be only to happy to answer any questions about our experience with autism - just wait for puberty! That has been pretty tough on my son. Not to mention everyone else concerned. But we are working through it, there are many programs and people that can help with the difficult behaviours. I have him on meds, but those are being changed right now too, and I've used some biomedical treatments with him too. There's so much to find on the biomedical end, and it gives me lots of hope! I think these kids are definately teaching us lots of lessons, and they are really good ones too!
