I home schooled her until high school and she's doing pretty well, all things considered. I'm at work now so I can't make any commitments. I'll try to log on again after I get home.

My five year old grandson was diagnosed last year and his two year old brother screams and bangs his head rather than speak so we are expecting he will be diagnosed as well. They are wonderful little boys, but I know what my daughter goes through. Most people, including many health professionals, don't understand ASD.
