| I understand both sides. Not wanting the child to feel bad or guilty and it would be wrong of the mother to do that in a deliberate way over time. But at the same time caring for someone with a brain condition is hard and can be savage sometimes. Sometimes people will complain or say regretable thin... |

| Unless you know the full story it’s best to reserve judgement on the situation of others. Just because she has a high IQ don’t mean all is ok. Maybe she has epilepsy, maybe some psychotic episodes.

| I'd imagine that an autistic dog would behave much like a cat. I'd expect domestic cats to have a higher 'pro-human' drive than a dog with the shank3 mutation. It wouldn't be surprising if the dog was closer to a wild animal in that regard, rather than like any domesticated animal. Age old debate w... |
