a surprising glimpse into the NT world

[Guest guest]

I was talking to my best friend on the phone today. We don't get to talk much,

so when we do we cover ALL the bases.

She was telling me that sometimes when her NT three-year-old is talking talking

talking and she wishes he'd shut up, she thinks of me. We talked about how hard

it is to live in a state of gratitude all the time, and she acknowledged how

much of 's development she takes for granted.

That reminded me of that early post of mine, with the lost dream of the college

graduation, and I told it to her, commenting on how she still has it, just knows

it will come true without even giving it any conscious thought.

" Nooooo, " she said, " actually I don't. "

" WHAT? " I was shocked. She has a normal, even precocious child.

" No. You just never know, " she said, shocking the hell out of me, " after all,

he could be a serial killer, or a druggie, or a drunk driver. You can't take

anything for granted. "

Oh. I nearly fell off my chair.

Who would have guessed?
