We stuggled keeping him in a classroom setting. Trying to convince academic minded people that socalizing for Connor is more important. I want his peers to know who Connor is, what he is like, and how he works. These kids are going to be the ones around him as he grows older. Assuming our plans to stay here in Roseburg hold.

Connor's School
We found out Connor was student of the month at his elementry school. Tina and I both got the time available to be at the school assembly. When his name was called, he looked suprised and headed up with the other kids. A very 'normal' moment for him. When he got to the area with the other recognized kids, they congradulated him by name gently touching him on his arm or shoulder. There was genuine affection, it was touching.

Lee, I treasure every post about Connor and share your experiences with our niece Jennifer, who's son Blake is Autistic. Connor's victories are mirrored in Blake's and vice versa.
Thank you for sharing.
Bob
