Jacquie:

Sounds great for Greggory and as for Alec, well, he is very young still and,

as you say, it is impossible to say what will happen with him.

Salli,

I know. Alec is the greater challange in so many ways. he is

smarter than Greggory, I think and much more stubborn. This makes

things difficult. But you never know what the future will bring. I

try not to stress about it.

hear it when kids are doing soo well. Good job!!!

Tamara,

I sometimes feel funny about posting anything about Greggory. He

has come so far that what he does seems so petty and he can do so

much. We are very lucky with Greggory and all the hardwork in the

worls can only pay off so much with each child. They are all so

different. Alec is still way off from where Greggory was yrs ago but

thats just it, you never know.

Sue,

That is true. But he is also very shy. LOL I was so shy I couldnt

even call and order a pizza until Jeff and I got married. Sheesh! LOL

He reminds me of me when I was small when it comes to his shy side

It doesn't have to be an issue of shyness. IT's a very typical trait of

high functioning and aspergers kids....

Sue, who's kids also don't ask for help!
