Countrymaid:
Welcome to the board. You'll enjoy it.
I was also looking around the different threads and noted your son got National Honor Society distinctions. Wow! For a child with autism his success scholastically sure does speak volumes for the supportive parents who raised him. Good job to your son and to you! I've volunteered in the schools for years, was a social services caseworker/manager for years and have found over and over again that parents are the child's first teachers, their most ardent supporters, mouth pieces and advocates for the child's rights. Keep up your good work!
