My family has autism running rampant through it. My son has autism, two of my neices has aspergers and a few others have a mild form of autism. Its a hereditory condition that really screws with a life. My son is 7 and his teacher at school doesn't think he can improve his abilities(reading and writing things like that)anymore as he has reached his potential. As a parent it was hard to take. He has very delayed speaking, can't write and has trouble interacting with other people. We will have to look after him his whole life.
