We were told when my son was 2 "You'll be lucky to get a Rainman out of this child". he was pretty bad, inflicting wounds on himself and others, spinning, no eye contact, minimal vocab, etc, the same old autism story, my husband refused point blank to accept what the professionals were saying that our boy would never be 'normal", hate that word.
Anyway that was 15 years ago, and after a long journey, he is pretty much 100% "normal", still hate that word. He is so typical, that tonight I am worried as heck, as he is out with all his Year 12 buddies practicing for schoolies(end of school partying in Oz). If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.
Oh, I have a message for Carly, he's a very talented guitarist and gigs with his Dad in a band, and he's CUTE!!!!!!!
Check out their band, it's called Pokkets of Resistance, they have my space etc, my son is the beautiful one on the left of screen in the video clips, his skinny dad, my hubbie, is on the drums, i would upload it to here, but I'm computer challenged.
