I am glad that I’ve read your story, and I’m glad that the Internet, for all its faults, is still a place to share stories of our lives with each other.

Judson sounds a lot like Henry, my twin brother, in terms of his abilities and profound autism. Growing up I learned to say that Henry is “autistic retarded” but I am sure that’s out of date. Anyway, God bless Judson, his family, and especially his caretakers and teachers. It is a special form of selflessness required to help the severely disabled and I am forever in awe and forever grateful to anyone who does so.

I think in the U.S it would be he has autism and is learning disabled, in at least some non-English speaking countries it is the still usual to say whatever is that country's form of “autistic retarded”.

Parents of special needs kids are amazing. I have a very good friend who married a really nice girl, their only child was born with Down’s syndrome. They are incredible parents, and they are an incredible family. Their son brings many challenges, but they are happy as they meet every situation. Compared to my own life, I would say my friends life is different. Different joys, different problems. God bless all these families. Being around them is a blessing to you.
