Thanks Epidemic!
I totally agree with you BC, my 5 yr old is autistic and he and I both get very frustrated when he's not able to convey what's on his mind into words for me sometimes. He strikes out a lot and I would say that at least 3 of his 5 school reports a week indicate that he's hitting/biting/scratching the Special Ed. teachers when he doesn't want to do something he's told to do. He's writing his numbers/letters just fine (and he's even began drawing people/houses/cars & trucks

), but he can't even begin to read yet.
I hope and pray that he'll be able to function as a "normal" kid soon and this story certainly brightens the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks again buddy, it felt great to read such a story...
