My 18 yr old son has a rare neurological condition called SYNGAP1 NSID. In short, he has too many neuropathways in his brain so this causes moderate to severe autism, epilepsy (fully controlled with medication), and intellectual disabilities (his academics & interests are more in line with kinder to 2nd grade). L is my pride and joy and I always say that you will be forever changed for the better if you enter his world. He is a gentle giant 95% of the time, but anyone who works with him must be trained in recognizing behaviors before they escalate and be able to redirect or interpret/address what is causing the frustration. He is still in pull-ups too since he has a delay in communication in his body due to his disorder. His bond is so strong with his former west coast nannies that they will fly in for the weekend to visit.
