I want to thank every one that replied, it means alot to me. My son is high functioning now with ADHD showing up now. We don't want to put him on meds, so were dealing with it the best we can. Even though my work schedule is hectic & unpredictable as to where I'll be, I never miss a IEP meeting with his teachers & aids that help him on a daily basis. Austistic kids don't do well with major changes & my work schedule changed to where I wasn't there in the mornings to give him a shower & it took a while to work that one out. My wife & I attend a monthly parent support meeting to talk with other parents to see what ideas work for their kids & what works for ours to see if these things can help out. When I first showed my son the tattoo, he recognized his name & the puzzle piece for being about Autism. I told him what the "for life meant & he said he liked it. The next day he told my that he liked it, but was afraid that I was gonna turn into a gangster cuz they have tattoo's & they do bad things. I had to sit him down & explain that just cuz daddy has a tattoo doesn't mean I'm gonna be a bad person now. I asked him if Grand Ma, my 2 sisters, my cousins where bad people & he said no, then I told him that they all have tattoo's also. He was shocked to find out that my mom has a tattoo. I thought that was funny, the look on his face... Again thank all you for your support, FABO is the best out there, Russell
