W...Oh, this is a lovely post, Colleen...yay Connor! What a remarkable young man...he clearly has his Grammie's spirit! Aren't you lucky indeed to have two wonderful grandsons...you must be so proud of them both. The poem you posted says it perfectly...all the things we wish for them...all the pain we would spare them if only we could!<br /><br />I do hope Connor gets to take his photography courses. I've always meant to, and haven't, but I have learned for myself that seeing the world through a camera lens can clarify things and heighten the ability to appreciate details that so many people overlook. Connor would find it wonderful way to explore his life and record his impressions of it.<br /><br />I didn't mean to natter on, Colleen...I just found this story so inspiring...thanks for sharing it with us...:<br /><br />LynetteLynette Killamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747902602019771481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-46776171140926995082011-05-30T13:26:31.195-06:002011-05-30T13:26:31.195-06:00Kids are graduating already?

It's the social side of things that gives him a hard time although he is very outgoing and will talk your ear off especially when he finds that one subject that he wants to inform you about. :) James Durbin from American Idol has Asperger's and Turrets and we see what he has accomplished. An amazing singer! Everyone has great potential and talent no matter what. Now if I could get my 10th grader to put a little more effort into his studies. He's making no where near those kinda grades. :/ Have a great weekend.

It's good to know that these developmental syndromes can be worked with and with such beautiful results. My 9 year old grandson is profoundly autistic but the services available for him here in Alberta are wonderful and allow us to have hope for his future. Congratulations to Connor and his mother.Pat MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497617342638521940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-8680155735122232862011-05-27T07:02:04.523-06:002011-05-27T07:02:04.523-06:00I can see why you are one proud grammie.

His Mom is a trooper and I'm going to share your blog with her for inspiration. Sometimes she feels all alone on this rollercoaster. <br /><br />Thanks so much and a big congratulations to Connor.

My grandson has multiple learning disabilities with ADHD as the major one and he's down at the serious end of the scale. He isn't doing as well as your Connor getting Ds mainly except for this last semester of his Junior year when his mom home-schooled him. He can learn but it takes one on one educating. He has no trouble socializing although his sister who has Selective Mutism (she literally can't talk to strangers) is going to have a tough time with it. It's good to know someone who has made it in spite of his disability and is moving ahead with higher education.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-40333282562908126002011-05-26T20:19:14.330-06:002011-05-26T20:19:14.330-06:00What an inspiring post today!
