JDF2 That was an incredible story. I left a comment in the forum you posted that to here.
We are just at the start of our ASC story, having just had the diagnosis a couple of weeks back. He's an incredible little boy of 7. He doesn't scream or lash out (as yet) and he's a good boy in school. He too has writing difficulties in holding the pen/pencil and English is a bane for him right now, but his maths is coming on very well.
He's very literal in his understanding of the world and like science and building things. I think that's why he likes minecraft; terraria (sp?), even farming sim! He does like stuff that blasts things too
I think that even though practising things like English in the written format is a right royal pain for some, it's still essential to keep practising. Predictive text and dictionaries on our laptops/computers/pads can make us lazy. It's also really handy too, but your doing really well (your story proves it). I for one, am very proud and look forward to reading more of your work.
