Got more of my arm going!!
Photo album I found of my grandparents wedding
My dad and little bro nick playing guitar together.
Day before yesterday we found out that another one of my siblings has autism. He i 13 years old and has been having a ton of behavioral issues throughout his life. After misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis (ADD, ADHD, Bipolar, depression, etc. etc) his mom and my dad flew him out to Denver to see a special company that gave him a brain scan. Through this we were able to very clearly find out that he is autistic with 80% normal functionality and a severe frontal lobe disorder, which is where a lot of the moodiness and anger issues come from. The hard thing with him is going to be telling him. He needs to know but at the same time, with my sister who has autism being completely non verbal and 100% dependent on my parents for her care, and Jack who has asperger's being very quirky and different, he has kind of a, well I don't want to say stigma but I guess that's the only word I can think of, of what people on the autism spectrum are like, even though it is obviously so much broader than what our family is exposed to every day. Its going to be hard to explain it. Of the 6 of us siblings in that group, 3 are on the spectrum. It is petrifying for me. I love my brothers and sister and cannot imagine my life without them, they have changed me so much for the better, but at the same time I know what it takes to handle it from watching my mom and know how much of a strain it can be by watching my parents' marriage and the ups and downs. I am not cut out of it. I know I carry the gene and that is scary to. To know that I can potentially pass it on. Is that horrible of me? Just writing it I feel like a shitty shitty person.
I need to talk about something happy now....
How about my undying love for Giants Closer Brian Wilson????
