Family ties.

My brother has autism, and when I read "Broken Dreams, Unbreakable Bonds" [Real Girl, A/S '07], I nearly cried. I showed it to my morn, and she did cry! I love my brother, my family and you, GL.

Thank you for the article about autism. However, I was disappointed by your point of view. My brother, too, has autism. But instead of grieving the loss of dreams my family had for him, we channeled that energy into teaching and accepting him. An autistic child has his own dreams, and his family has their own personal goals and expectations.
