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

Autism is fascinating. I've known and "befriended" many children with it.
On your point though, let me tell you this much, and I am completely sincere when I say it...
There are people out there who really care about others, regardless of who they are, and sometimes even if they barely know them. This leads me to believe that while some might try to victimize, hold faith that there are others who would try and help her along, including your family, friends, and sometimes complete strangers.
