Your little boy who's becoming a man is the wonderful person he is no matter what title is placed on him. Some titles are easier to accept than others such as Quantum Physicist vs. Autistic but they are simply that, titles. We are always the some of our deeds, our hearts and our minds, nothing more than this. I have no doubt that he will go far and live a life filled with the joy of triumphs and love. He has the best parents he could ask for, who love him so much and will be there to support him and praise him every step of the way.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing this deep and difficult subject with us. I know how much courage it takes and the wonderful gift of love and support you receive in return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887793202445834304.post-19183413836709751952008-11-19T01:30:00.000-07:002008-11-19T01:30:00.000-07:00Your Cody will continue to soar regardless of whet...Your Cody will continue to soar regardless of whether he has Aspergers. It sure sounds like he has the strength to deal with the challenge! And of course the love & support of his wonderful family will see him through any difficulties. Thanks for sharing the story.

I have heard of autism but did not know there were various forms of it. Regardless if he is diagnosed or not, I plan to continue learning more about Asperger's. I can't help but wonder how many children have gone undiagnosed!?!?Sweets 'N Greetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509332580906545163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887793202445834304.post-85162366570532411102008-11-18T13:58:00.000-07:002008-11-18T13:58:00.000-07:00Oh he is a champ, Angie!

And thank you so much for being a cheerleader for him, too :-) The doctor told us that AS is usually diagnosed when the child is younger...part of me feels like I failed by not recognizing his "shy" behavior when he was younger as a potential disorder. BUT I know I did not fail him and he will continue to go on and do great things. And YES, I have without a doubt that one of these days you will say "I knew him when...". Maybe if you call yourself Aunt Angie to him he just might buy you something special when he's rich and famous.

Cody has done quite well accepting the nutty things that have been thrown at him and, really, all we can do is support him. Though, as a mother, I wish I could take these disorders from him...I would gladly live the rest of my life with them so he wouldn't have to.Sweets 'N Greetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509332580906545163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887793202445834304.post-46695949436137300272008-11-18T13:46:00.000-07:002008-11-18T13:46:00.000-07:00This is a very interesting read and helpful to oth...This is a very interesting read and helpful to others..What a beautiful/handsome son, like your other son..I am glad you are going for more test and your doctor is backing you.

And you an...Wow, Laura...what a little champ he is! And you and Paul are his biggest cheerleaders - thats obvious. He is very fortunate to have you and Paul; that you're both there for him and have nothing but his well-being in mind. Kudos to the both of you. And because of you both...he will go on to be a Quantum Physicist. I just know it! Then I can say..."I knew him when..." LOL <BR/><BR/>I have a friend whose son was diagnosed with Asperger's, but at a very young age. Its an uphill climb, but I have no doubt that your family will rally around you and Cody. He'll come thru this with flying colors!!<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful day my dear friend! ♥Angie Kelly Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467146329554435267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887793202445834304.post-82279945935555280992008-11-18T09:36:00.000-07:002008-11-18T09:36:00.000-07:00Cody is truly blessed to have you as a parent. So...Cody is truly blessed to have you as a parent. Someone who is so understanding and willing to do what ever it takes to give him the life he deserves. If for no other reason than that, I am sure he will grow up to become what ever he wants. From everything I have read Cody seems like the type of child that can overcome what ever is thrown at him, and I am sure that these problems will help prepare him for the contributions he will make to society. And Great ones I am sure they will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
