Future college applicants, who are reading by five and adding fractions by six, and who are nonetheless unable to tie their shoes or eat in a restaurant that doesn’t serve chicken tenders.  Four-foot consumers, who demand that their parents’ mini-van purchases meet all of their entertainment needs.]]></description>

Did his mother need a reminder about how severely his disabilities affected him in order to treat him with the understanding and patience he needed?]]></description>
