And that is what I've been doing for the past two days - reading and reading and then, reading some more of your posts! Fascinating!<BR/>I'm a grandmother of three - my oldest grandson, Alex will be 10 come August and the two younger ones, my Princess (Maya) will be 4 in October and her little brother was 15 months today (er, yesterday now - the 13th). My granddaughter is autistic and we are seeing several markers in her little brother now too that looks like he is also autistic. <BR/>Although Maya is high functioning, the reason she is doing as great as she is stems from having two therapists who come to the house and have worked with her for an hour each week for the past two years! Her speech is coming along nicely now but the echo in the house some days can seem almost deafening! I enjoyed so much reading your posts, hearing the humor in your voice as you describe various things that are prominent features probably in the lives of almost everyone on the planet who is learning right along with some small person in their household who is autistic. It is quite an experience - and one, I must add, that I wouldn't trade either though. Seeing the changes in my granddaughter to do things one generally thinks of as the "norm" in most children, makes all the rest just a mediocre life at best.<BR/>Keep writing, keep putting up the great photos too! Really a very enjoyable blog and your thoughts about the summer attire too - completely understandable!!!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-16293499921693450822007-07-13T17:27:00.000-07:002007-07-13T17:27:00.000-07:00OMG, I am cracking up here!
