Response to your son may have mr...but...

 

in the MB, because it is just a way to describe his functional or performance. He is a retarded child w autism and I have accpeted that a long time ago. I have no problem w that and as such I don't consider that to be insulting or punitive.

Why do you think they call ASSN for REtarded citizens?
as in arc?

Retardation is just a term used to describe certain levels of functioning in a person.

My son has severe autism w MR. He perseverates as well as echoes things, he had heard in his envt. He is a classical case of Kanners.

What about yours?

P.S: I am happy to note that your new baby is doing well. Good luck Stacie.
