I read an article today fromthe Citizen Times in Asheville, NC about a boarding school that is available for kids 12-20 years old. I love the fact that there are more and more resources for kids with special needs but for me personally, I would be very sad to send my son off to boarding school.

Life with an Aspie

Yesterday my kids and I went to wish my ex-mother-in-law a happy birthday and bring her some gifts. My 10 year old son with Aspergers was completely indifferent to her while we were there. I think he may have said one word, Porygon 2, when I asked him to tell what he bought with his allowance. We visited for a while as we stood by my van parked on the street in front of her house. She had returned home just as we had pulled up to her house.
