Title: I hadTears in my eyes :'( Post by: cia260895 on February 08, 2008, 09:22:43 PM Poignant due to the mmr thread
My youngest who is autistic,(thomas) aged 10 1/2 For the 1st time in his life he picked a book from the bookshelf (harry potter) sat at the table cut a piece of paper to make a book marker and started to read the book,now thomas' reading ability is at about a 4 year olds stage.When i asked him if he could read he replied yes in my head,yawned then said can i go to bed to read my book. Absolutely PRICELESS ;yippee; ;sark; ;mexicanwave; Title: Re: I hadTears in my eyes :'( Post by: kinboshi on February 08, 2008, 09:31:07 PM Nice one :)up

It reads "Sorry if my daughters behaviour has upset you today, shes autistic and she can not control her reactions. Whats your excuse??"
