Bio
I'm a small town introverted, old school, emo foodie who gives a lot and asks for nothing but respect in return. I'm hoping to give you a glance into the life of a truly nice person who just wants to share her insight with the world.

I Can't Believe He Doesn't Care
Let's start with a few facts about this awesome young man. At the age of four he was diagnosed as having Asperger's. This means he is on the Autism Spectrum. He didn't start talking until just before his fifth birthday. That was one of two milestones he was behind on. He walked at 15 months, was "scanning" and repeating via alphabet magnets (memorizing by looking at and becoming a human scanner), advertisements, and store signs at 18 months, and he was reading at three. As hard as I tried I couldn't fully potty train him before he started school because of fear. He was afraid of the toilet and was too big for potty chairs. He grew fast.
