It is so hard when we see our little ones go through things like this.

Don't give up hope. So much can be done. DDs went to a school where they integrated kids with disabilities with others (a lot of deaf kids and kids with autism). There were many breakthrough autistic children who went on to live normal lives.

One of my best friends ds has Aspergers (sp) Syndrome. The kind of autism that Bill Gates has. It has been a struggle for them but he is now a sophomore in high school and is doing much better. He is extremely intelligent - able to do algebra in 2nd grade, 5th grade+ reading level in kindergarten, etc. However, he has had to struggle with many deficits. There is a national program for children like this. He is part of that and gets some type of assistance to help with his education. I will try to find out the name of the program and PM you.

In the meantime, I am wishing you the best and will keep you in my prayers.
