Makes Me Think - Today, my younger brother graduated from public high school. Born with autism and attention deficit disorder in the early 90's doctors told my mother that he would never make it through private elementary for children with special needs. He's endured more than his share of hard times and persevered. He leaves for college in August. I've never seen anyone work harder, nor have I ever been more proud of anyone in my life. His story MMT.

Wow, exactly the same story with my sister! She was really close to go to the mental hospital, because she was suffering from severe psychosis due to her autism. But she got medication, stopped it again and with therapy went to a pubic high school. She graduated yesterday and when she arrived at school, she got a standing ovation from the teachers. I couldn't be more proud!
