Reply #11: My brother has Autism!

[Lady Freedom]

How dare he! How dare that pompous windbag say that! My brother has struggle all his life, just want to be like others his age. When he was very young, they tried to tell us he was retarded. At the time little was known about what Autism really was. However my parents knew that wasn't it, they had seen children with retardation and the two things weren't the same. So to make sure he got a real chance my parents home schooled him. They studied books and did what the special education classes that were offered by the public schools here couldn't.

Now at the age of 22, he can function by himself to an existent. He can;t work a regular job, but he could live in an assisted living area with need of little help. He so much wants to be his own man. I keep telling him he already is. And a hell of a lot more of a man than that big mouth Savage!
