mp, love your avatar--- I have a 10 year old grandson that has autism, so I recoginised the the puzzle ribbon. Excuse the spelling. We are thankful though that his is mild and he is doing very well in main stream school. We lucked out when they found out he had it they were stationed in Augusta GA. (son is in the army) where there are so many centers for autism and other handicaps, and he and my son and his wife all got training on helping him at home as well as the other thearpy he got at the centers. WE WERE BLESSED!!
Autism is so different in each person that has it. You are on my prayer list.
