Autism=Genius

I believe in this story from leftbrainrightbrain.com. It's about how having autism may mean more intelligence. My oldest son who is in the 2nd grade is highly intelligent. He is in the top of his class. He is an excellent student in Math, Reading, and Spelling. He usually has 100 average in those classes, and in spelling he gets the bonus points as well. He retains information very well, and even so over a long period of time. My youngest son is still learning in kindergarten and is receiving occupational therapy for his handwriting, and is experiencing delays in reading sight words, and sequencing. My husband is also highly intelligent. He is going to college for computer programming and has been in college for two years. He will graduate in 2010, and is maintaining a GPA of 4.0.
