I like that site too, but lots of work sometimes to read an article. Anyway I agree with you on the outcome is different depending on the age of the child. For Nicholas I would say #2, for Matt #3 or #4, most likely 4.

I don’t totally ‘get’ the whole high functioning thing either. I know people who say their child has ‘ high functioning aspergers’ – they don’t have autism.. it is ‘high functioning aspergers’….

My son is relatively high functioning in that he is academically high, but if you go on sensory issues or behaviors it is a completely different story.

I wanted to let you know that I tagged you with a blog award over at my blog.

I found you through Faces Of Autism. I think ANY parent with a special needs child thinks about this. I think my son will be able to live independently as long as he is close by. Or maybe if he marries a wonderful person!

Interesting poll results. And some things to ponder on!
And no it is no small feat. And the worry never stops.
