Children Are So Cruel

[MRSannie]

RC thank you for the prayers. It is such a difficult thing, yet there are golden moments I wouldn't change for anything. Have you ever read a little book called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" ??? Every person who loves or knows an autistic person should read that book--it is a delight.

I know and love several autistic people. My family knows (well) about 8 or 9 families with autistic children.

Heard of it...never read it.

Oh, WOW, you have GOT to get your hands on that book! It will take a couple of hours to read, but you will LOVE it---first person narrative from the perspective of a 15 year old autistic boy who is trying to solve the mystery of how the neighbor's dog died. Sounds bizzarre, but it is SO wonderful, and really really gives you the perspective of how an autistic person thinks/percieves the world...

Did you shed a tear at the end? Wasn't it a tender ending?
