We went to a presentation that had a panel of college students with learning disabilities last week. They gave him some good ideas, I think. Now he has to decide (by May 1.)<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words--I admit to some hands-on advocacy over the years, and I have learned a few things along the way... so glad you find them helpful!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802459265546733391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23192245.post-68854968593668863922010-04-15T19:21:29.147-04:002010-04-15T19:21:29.147-04:00Terri, How proud I am of Tom.... as you know his s...Terri, How proud I am of Tom.... as you know his successes are close to my heart as it allows me to see the future of my son. However, I have one beef. You have not included yourself in the list of those who have led the way for your son. You are an amazing component also in this equation. Every time I am panicked over how to teach a new concept to Keaton you come to my rescue by offering the perfect solution. I know you have refined your ideas through your quest to help Tom. So this kudos goes to both you and Tom for your amazing work.Karen Rothfushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669323723103274219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23192245.post-79372057506799367702010-04-03T00:45:12.461-04:002010-04-03T00:45:12.461-04:00Congratulations!

Though I have heard that some people see NVLD as part of the autism spectrum, that has never been said by any of the people that have worked with my son.<br /><br />I intended this post to be about the awesome support that my son has received... the earlier comment was because I'd posted my defiant post about my son's success first--my reference to pain was a poor attempt at humor.<br /><br />Admittedly, there has been some work involved in getting certain people to see my son's strengths. And there have been very frustrating seasons when negative people were in positions of power in his life. But whatever "pain" there has been has paid off in a lot of ways.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802459265546733391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23192245.post-34959582996307475952010-02-20T00:29:22.666-05:002010-02-20T00:29:22.666-05:00Thanks for sharing your latest pains that autism c...Thanks for sharing your latest pains that autism can bring to parents.is Autism a Genetic Flaw?http://hubpages.com/hub/What-is-Autism-and-Its-Signs-and-Symptomsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23192245.post-49430591712504321052010-02-16T23:29:24.031-05:002010-02-16T23:29:24.031-05:00Wow...you just about wrote my story in that post! ...Wow...you just about wrote my story in that post! (Well, at least the NLD experience part of it...) I have the stinkers and the great ones, too, all through my life. The attempts at college alone could produce quite a saga! Though the earlier years were no picnic, either, they happened before I got any sort of formal diagnosis. I don't know if that says something about the inadequacies of the educational system at the time, about the my ability to overcompensate, or both!
