I too spent so much time explaining autism. I was so happy to see the movie Rainman come out. No longer, people would correct me, saying 'You mean he is artistic!" Now he is 55 years old and living in a group home. He lived with my mother until she died and so many people asked me why didn't I take him home with me. They didn't understand autism. I would have had to quit my job for one thing, autism affects the caregiver in so many ways. Today, he has learned more skills of how to take care of himself, of course he cannot cross a street by himself but he can<br />communicate more than he ever did. The last time I saw him (we live in a different state), we were at a fast food place and he said "Ketchup, please". I cried, I was so happy!<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)comCarol N Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873206816286352639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336207022126200397.post-91476164511882265372011-04-11T20:20:25.865-05:002011-04-11T20:20:25.865-05:00AWESOME!
