Default What a difference a year makes
My DS (ADHD, pragmatic issues, fine and gross motor issues, processing issues) ordered his own food when we went out tonight. He NEVER does this. He hides behind me and whines or hides under the table (still at age 7. Not tonight. Tonight he ordered his own meal and even called the waiter over to ask for more chips (we ate mexican).

Just had to share. It's the little things that pop up unexpectedly that make your day!

Never argue with an idiot. He'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

That's great. And it's wonderful that something like this is on your radar and you can totally appreciate it.
