You have the highest highs and the lowest lows.
I have a strong belief in God but am not terribly religious. One of my friends from college, when learning about Laura said..."She is without sin".
I didn't take much stock in that when I heard it but over the years, it has rung true repeatedly.
Her brain is not developed enough to understand evil, prejudice etc.
I have two reactions to this (the schizo). How wonderful it is to have someone who does not understant racism etc. On the other hand, I worry a lot about her being victimized...especially after I am gone and cannot protect her.
You guys are the best who respond to these posts.
thanks

I never really had given autism a second thought until I started listening to Imus. Say what you will about his "other antics" the man has done alot to bring awareness to people like me, someone who never would have paid any attention ( as much as it pains me to say that ). When we found out my wife was pregnant I hoped and prayed for a healthy baby and thankfully we have a healthy beautiful little girl. I never imagined my life could be so drastically changed and my priorities shifted.
Your story was a good one, and touched me in a way that a 13 months ago (b4 we knew she was pregnant) I didnt think possible. I dont want to get to mushy and will leave it at GREAT STORY!!!
