Sending good thoughts to you.

Elise, actually both of my boys are on the spectrum now. Marcus was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder when he was 3. Miles was just diagnosed with Aspergers this summer. Miles has really been the challenge for us lately. He's been higher maintenance than both Marcus & Mackenzie combined. lol Marcus is in 4th grade. He's mainstreamed 50% and special ed. 50%. He's very high functioning. Quite verbal, although you have to know him to understand everything. Lacks social skills though.
Jeepers, I really rambled here. lol I love talking about my kids.
Congrats to you & your son!! I love hearing success stories.
