I was just ...Dang, that's pretty harsh Callie.<br /><br />I was just going to say...the irony of it all is that our ASD kids laugh fearlessly in the face of peril while we scramble like mad to get them back to safety.Vicky L Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573474158002190448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517625016567859763.post-62746768686200778632013-08-03T17:54:18.008-04:002013-08-03T17:54:18.008-04:00Mikayla's family left her to be supervised by ...Mikayla's family left her to be supervised by her 8 yr old brother - despite the fact she had the mental age of an 18 month old baby!
