I know many parents here are working so hard with their children with various challenges. Thought you might like to hear a good news story.
I recently was able to spend time with a long-time friend and her 25 year old son with Down Syndrome. Her son is now living in his own apartment and has a job. He has friends and is enjoying his life.
He was a delight to be with. I really enjoyed seeing him - it had been several years as we live very far apart. He was well mannered and really pleasant to be around.
This is a young man who was extremely difficult as a child - melt downs, hostility, even violent at times. His parents' years and years of dedication and very hard work have really paid off.
His parents could not be more proud of him and his accomplishments.
