Dear Sandy,
Earl just turned five last week and I have been asked if he was
autistic all his life. Ever since he was a baby he has exhibited behaviors that
are often seen in autistic children. the biggest is his inability to deal with
certain stimuli. his physical therapists had mentioned autism and i know they
did some tests but nothing ever really came from it. but i have also been
thinking about it alot lately, especially with all the coverage on autism these
days. and ur right, maybe we should just research it ourselves!!

Best Wishes,
Jenny
