step-son

Story topics: inspirational, step-son, teenager

I have a step-son who is only 16 and he's been diagnosed since he was 10. For a long time I thought his condition was unique. After watching the documentary yesterday, for the first time, I saw that my son was not alone. Watching your film yesterday was very inspirational.

I have always feared there was a dark future for Mikey.  Seeing John.. his mannerisms, expressions, vocal patterns, the pacing, the breathing patterns.....even the little songs he makes up on the fly,  they are identical to my son. It was like looking 14 years into the future. I was very happy to hear that John is doing well. I'm no longer frightened for my son.
