I just viewed ‘In My Language’ and could agree more with what you had to say. Thanks for taking the time AND effort to educate.

They think if they yell really loudly at him, he’ll hear them better, it makes me very angry. They can’t take the time to even try to get to know him and they think I’m a delusional mother who just can’t accept that her son will never be up to par. It infuriates me that nobody really cares except for me! He’s the greatest kid you can ever imagine and I know how much he loves me because he finds ways to show me, that’s how smart he is!
