Spelling Award, Math Award....
Most Improved Writer Award....
And most exciting, the President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Acheivement! (Accompanied by a letter from President Bush and a pin, which Spenser's is proudly sporting today.)
Six years ago when he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, if you had told me this could happen, I would have been stunned and in disbelief. Now that I see it, I am overjoyed, amazed, humbled. I am so very proud of my wonderful, extraordinary son.

You must be an Angel yourself to have been blessed with your 3 boys. It looks like they are so lucky to have a mother who stands directly beside them. I am in awe of you, and congratulations to your son for his award. Some people are overwhelmed when one child is challenged, but you seem oh so even. Bless you.
My mother was one of the first teachers ever to teach challenged children in public school. Back in the mid 50's they didn't even know how to define who belonged in the class. But that is a whole other story.
Hope you are OK with me talking this. Somehow I think you are.
Congratulations.
No fun to be ordinary anyway!
Extraordinary...now that's what i'm talking about!
I bet he's so excited!
