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.
Wow that is amazing! My sister is a teacher of an autistic elementry school class and loves all the children. I will have to tell her about your son.
