Austin (my son) is Autistic.

As far as the show.. I havent seen it. I need to look and see if I can find the rerun.
Heather, Will I cry too??? Because if so.. I probably shouldnt watch it.

 

[Jersey]

I cried happy tears...not sad ones...
the stories are of success, not disabilities

 

[Veronica]

Good. Ok, then I will watch it.

I know a kid who's in my Marching Band who's autistic. He actually has perfect pitch, which is quite rare. Normally, after years of training, a fully developed ear can hear within 15 cents of being in tune. However, people who are born with perfect pitch can hear within 1 cent of being in tune without training. He's a nice kid, though
