[quote=Anonymous]My adult brother was diagnosed with retardation (what they called it back then) at a young age. They told my mom he would never do anything on his own. My type A, over achieving mom worked her ass off...found the right doctors, therapies, etc. my brother now lives on his own, holds a job and has a few good friends. He still needs help but has come further than we ever thought possible. It never would have been possible without my mom. As others have said, use your skills to help him. There is a definite reason you were given this child. As a side note, my mom also went on to work with other SN kids. [/quote]
