FMluvswaterbabe....I can totally relate to you here!! My brother was diagnosed with Autism at age 3 as well, I was only 8 at the time. He is now 21 years old and finishing the speacial Ed program offered at our local community college. He is am amazing person!! He has a very mild case of autism, which I am asuming your son does as well, since he writes so well for his age!!! My brother was not even at that comprehension level at that age. He is probably at the same level as your son is now at 21! That is great!!!

Conratulations!!!!! That is so awesome! Way to go Jacob!!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful to hear his progress! I remember you telling of his difficulties a couple years ago. Kids are truely amazing. He sounds like an inspiration to kids who don't even have the challenges he has to overcome. You must be soooooo proud just as I would be. Keep us updated on Jacob's progress.
Well congrats, at least there is effort being put out. I have seen some families who don't even try.
Not to knock this off base, but what are sea monkey's?

Uv never heard of sea monkeys
I'm so going to show him this thread! He'll be right tickled by all the praise!
Carrying on a spoken conversation with Jacob doesn't differ much from how he writes at the computer. He often interjects with asides and further explanantions of whatever he's telling us, just as he has in his story.
btw riverbound you made me laugh out loud!
I had no idea there were so many here whose lives have been touched by someone with autism. :smile: Jacob was initially diagnosed moderate to severely autistic. With early interventions and programs, that have given him tools to communicate with the world around him better, he is now considered higher functioning/Aspberger's on the autism spectrum. :smile: They told us to expect that he would "probably never" do so many things but I guess nobody told him cuz he's already done a great many of those "probably will never" 's.
He's a really cool kid. I'd like him even if he wasn't mine. :wink:

Here are some action figures of what was advertised as Sea Monkeys in 70's/80's comic books

Way to go Jacob! Great story! Thanks for sharing it.
FM you should be proud, I don't have kids yet and can't imagine what it takes as a parent on your part in the hand life has dealt your family. Your son is an inspiration.
Ok, I know what they are now. I guess I never heard someone call them sea monkey's. Sorry.
Where would I go to learn more? That would be something neat for my daughter.
