Okay, that's bloody horrid of the nun and I wouldn't have given her such a dressing down she'd have thought it from God! I'm sorry. That just angered me like you would never believe to read the prejudice you are facing and have faced. Your son is a gift with a gift. What I mean by that is, Autisitc children have many challenges (as do their parents and caretakers), but when they hit their stride it's amazing. Whatever it takes to find that gift, go for it. I have a friend who's son is autistic. He could become aggressive and violent when provoked. He had a serious problem coping with any outside loud noise. It was almost as if his ears were super sensitive. He wanted very much to ba a member of the school band, but could you imagine all that noise? His father bought him an electric bass guitar (cheap, at a garage sale) and someone volunteered to teach him how to play. As he learned to play, he also learned to cope with the noise and soon he was playing with the band. He's in highschool now and still plays with the band, but what's amazing is the fact that his GPA is better than most "normal" students! Sorry for this long reply. I hoping to offer encouragement. I hope I did.

Wow, that's so caring. I didn't know this until a few months ago, but did you know a cat can have as many as 200 off spring in a year? I am allergic to cats and was attacked whenI was very small (I knid of have a phobia of them) but I can't understand why anyone would have a pet and then abandon it to fend for itself. I respect how you care so much for them.

It's no picnic, but necessary. I hope you find a job soon.

Ooo, I like that!

That looks like a prety happening place.
