Just replying to Shecass--- My grandsons are now 16 and 14 . the 16 year old is basically autistic in the social part but also has a hardtime with feelings
and can not do sports or anything like that, has a weakness in his joints. He is very organized and is doing fairly well in school . He has always been in regular classes and wants to either teach other disabled children or go into computer field. He enjoys being around adults more then boys his own age because of his disabilities, My 14 year old is high functioning autistic. He is in a special class and has helpers to assist him. We are lucky because he is able to speak and can be taught. It might take awhile but if he wants to do something he will do it. Knows a lot of his words and can tell you things that you would not of even guessed he would know. Amazing!! He is beautiful ,blond haired, tall {going to be 6 ft. tall or more.} Has learned so much in the last two years. It so depends on the teacher being so good with him. Good luck with your son. These boys belong to my son and his wife and they also have two girls who are the youngest ones. Tjhey have no trace of it. Funny eh!! Because of them having the two of them they are in a study group down in Hamilton.
