He is a lucky boy to have a mother willing to homeschool him... Thank you for not letting your son be a statistic. Your blog is wonderful, by the way!! :) How wonderful that you accept your son the way he is and focus on the positives, and how awful (but not surprising) that he had to go through such horrible experiences in school.

I was very interested to read about your Alex, because my Little Man sounds a lot like Alex. Little Man has only been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder and not Asperger's, due to his ability to keep eye contact and to socialize. I think he's definitely borderline though, because so much of what he does resembles AS behavior. Thanks for sharing about your Alex. He sounds wonderful to me! Hi there,

I recently heard a story on the news of another boy who was kicked out of CHURCH for the same thing. Or maybe it was Tourette's... no matter, it broke my heart. Of all places where love, compassion, and grace should abound, one would think that church would be a safe haven for all of us, were all are accepted without judgement. Oh, this is so sad!
