They were right and very very wrong!!! He is not the norm but is above and beyond what "they " said he could do. He is in honors classes, brown belt in karate and plays high school football...will be getting a drivers liscence. I know downs is very different but still never take can't as an answer...where there is a will there is a way.....and a lot of work to get there.
