The same ideas are always in the back of my mind - that my 'weirdness' will be passed on to my kids. <BR/>I the case of J we know it is a genetic thing but that has only convinced me more and more that genetics explains more than science can quantify at this time.<BR/>Beautifully articulated pov.moplanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998309937928231527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31602017.post-44693028276822304812007-07-24T14:25:00.000-04:002007-07-24T14:25:00.000-04:00My partner and I have a 2 1/2 yo son (via sperm do...My partner and I have a 2 1/2 yo son (via sperm donor) who has a speech delay and sensory processing issues. His formal evaluation is tomorrow. I had suspected even prior to having my son that I might have some autistic tendencies (probably not even to the level of Asperger's), but it has been unsettling to have my suspicions confirmed. I'd love to talk if you'd like to email me (magicdrgn at aol dot com).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31602017.post-18601857646488687132007-07-24T13:40:00.000-04:002007-07-24T13:40:00.000-04:00What a beautiful post...while I can't see the gene...What a beautiful post...while I can't see the genetic link in myself, I do see it in some of my other relatives and it explains a lot--fleshes out the picture, so to speak. I wouldn't trade in Liam's exceptional way of coming at the world for anything. But I do want the world to be an easier, less intimidating place for him. <BR/><BR/>How great too that you're able to address all this so early.

I guess it wasn't until he entered school that the issues realyl began to kick in big time.Aliki2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/15763865834765963343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31602017.post-57053041110775117842007-07-24T08:20:00.000-04:002007-07-24T08:20:00.000-04:00I love you, Mouse.
