You're more than fine. You're fucking incredible. Math will always be a struggle...but not all areas.<br /><br />You're talking to an Autistic- like your son, who cried over math problems- like your son, and then, for no particular reason, entered AP Statistics in senior year of high school and aced the pants off that class. <br /><br />This? This is nothing. You'll look back on this when he's something awesome (even though he aready is, he'll just be an older something awesome) and remember.<br /><br />Your moral compass is pointed just fine, love.Nope.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00365379438811971453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351795453397438438.post-26890026069158528162009-08-26T19:54:16.607-07:002009-08-26T19:54:16.607-07:00Thank you Katie. :) I will tell him, for sure.

And most of us don't get to be awesome at things like chess or remembering other people's birthdays (which is really a very nice thing to do which most people neglect in this day and age.)kathulhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437721542009057211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351795453397438438.post-82510678568557537252009-08-26T13:15:59.393-07:002009-08-26T13:15:59.393-07:00Thanks for your prayers Sex.

Einstein was thought to be retarded.<br /><br />Tell that to your son: THEY THOUGHT EINSTEIN WAS RETARDED.<br /><br />Read John Elder Robison's book <i>Look Me in the Eye.</i> They thought he (with Asperger's) was retarded too. He got a $1.25 million advance for that book. If he's retarded, I'm a cabbage.<br /><br />If your son a) does his best, and b) knows his parents love him, he'll be fine. Because there are so many paths to success and happiness in this world, the grade you get in math when you're 13 is not anywhere as important as your math teacher would have you believe.Stephen Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883165490847664389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351795453397438438.post-35910868277714702762009-08-26T12:30:17.839-07:002009-08-26T12:30:17.839-07:00Yeah, it's funny, he has NO IDEA how adorably ...Yeah, it's funny, he has NO IDEA how adorably beautiful he is. <br /><br />God forbid he ever find out!<br /><br />Seriously, though, you were brilliant with how you pointed out all the great qualities your son has.

He's not autistic, and he's whip crack smart, but he struggles with writing (not the ideas, but the actual, physical writing.)<br /><br />He feels like a failure pretty often. I imagine for him, and maybe for your son, that school is like a maze with stuff jumping out at him from behind every corner. Except for that one corner where he was prepared.<br /><br />Sometimes he gives up trying. Actually, pretty often. Why try when it's gonna suck anyway?<br /><br />I'll pray for yours if you pray for mine. :)ssashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527483283426518167noreply@blogger.com
