Insider information

If you weren't aware, April was Autism Awareness month. I have a son with Asperger's Syndrome, which is an Austistic Spectrum Disorder. Today I was going through Toby's backpack and found this little tidbit. I was amazed. Toby is always surprising me with his unexpected insight into behavior. People with Asperger's tend to have difficulty with social skills, and understanding behavior in general. So, I thought it especially poignant.

  1. poignant indeed - maybe it's because they are too smart to become politicians.

  4. Toby is the child with asperger's. Isaac has ADHD. Both are very bright. As are aspen and hazel.
