great doctor. Is he in NY City? I believe that is where he was
before? Your personality sounds just like my youngest son, who was
the most severely disabled child. I would have loved to have sent my
children to him, but I was a loyal follower of his work. He must be
getting up now in age. If you don't mind, I'd like to send a copy of
this correspondence to my kids' emails. They never really learned
much about their problems since Mom always dealt with it.
