Thats fascinating, I don't think I knew what your other children were diagnosed
with, aside from Analee. Thanks so much for your words. From what I've read,
this little lad looks like a perfect addition to our family. He's very
sociable and warm hearted, which sounds perfect to me. I think this country is
so geared against children with additional needs that many people still hold a
deep-seated fear to even talk about it. Your words have just affirmed the way
I feel about things.
I'll get in touch off-list to discuss more. THANKYOU. You've been a wee word
of sense in a sea of bad advice!
