I haven't posted in a long time, so I guess I'm " new " . We live in University

Heights.

My name is Gail and my husband's name is Jim. Diane(17) and (6) are

biological children, both autistic. Edwin(5) is adopted from Guatemala and

is thankfully NT!

Diane is mildly autistic, 17 years old. She goes to CEVEC (vocational

program) part-time and attends high school the rest of the time. She is very

verbal, but has problems with social interactions, eye contact. In some ways

she is a typical teen and has lots of CDs of her favorite artists Beyonce

and Aguilera.

is moderately autistic/hyperlexic. He taught himself to read at

age 3. is in a special needs kindergarten, and is mainstreamed

with an aide for math, language, art. He does pretty well with that.

Diane and particpate in Special Olympics roller skating. Diane

participates in ice skating as well.

Edwin is our NT child, entering kindergarten in Sept 2004. Hard to believe.

Edwin is like a junior therapist for the older kids. Always asking them

questions, getting them to respond, encouraging them to play games as well.

Kind of neat to watch.

Anyway, I look forward to participating again here instead of lurking so

much. I would also love to get together in person with families in this

group.

Gail
