I graduated from LAW SCHOOL with a classmate that was autistic. He was developmentally delayed and did not speak a word for the first four years of his life. I do not know how he was treated or for how long, but I know that in elementary school he was held back twice and placed in special education, but by the age of 31 he was recieving a standing ovation collecting his diploma from a top 25 law school. Your daughter will be fine, people overcome autism, it is a difficult set back but it definitly does not have to be devestating. |
