befriended him in 1st grade. It seems almost impossible that such a young person
could be so sensitive to understand that my grandson was different in so many ways and
yet deserving to be a good friend.

This young lady is as good as gold and will always have a special place in my heart.

My grandson has had mental, emotional, educational and social skill intervention since
he was a toddler and is in regular education classes.

But he does have his struggles and I know he is aware that he is different at times.
He is loved by family and friends and he knows it. That makes both of us very happy.

a few decades ago they were largely left on their own or misdiagnosed and misdirected into the wrong kind of support
