You know, I always do pics of my two youngest, especially Fiona, So today I decided to do my second oldest...Bristol. She's not a whole lot different than Fi in some ways. She has Asperger's disorder, but to look at her...you couldn't tell. She has finally "caught up" with her peers. She brought her GPA up from 0.33 to 3.75. That's not a typo either. I couldn't get the right help for her until she started high school. That is why her GPA was so low. Now she's a straight A student. I guess that's why I push so hard for parents to become their child's advocate. If you expect the school to always know what is good for your child, you are settling for mediocracy. They have so many children that need help, they can't know your child as well as you do. Maybe I'm overbearing, but I have worked so hard to help my children achieve their potential. Now my girls with autism (Fiona and Bristol) have a great start to their lives. Bristol wants to be an art teacher. I think that's great. I'm so proud of her. She has overcome so many obstacles.
