I wasn't disagreeing with your premise, Jakki.


Okay thank you, wasn’t intending to sound as if ,I were reprimanding you either . Was just try to understand , perhaps how he was able to get by so long without seeing a doctor?

Jakki, savant behaviour such as the ability to do jigsaw puzzles, often much quicker than the average person, is quite a major element of the heavily autistic who are often non verbal but have a specific skill that would amaze anyone watching.

Such people should be encouraged to do the things they love best and make them happy.

Thank you ,, it was quite a interesting experience for me as I was growing up as the rest of the family. had treated so very very badly , as I grew up , except my mum was protective of her when she was in her company. And myself.

There's no reason to treat someone badly----if that someone isn't purposely treating you badly.

I agree with Zentinel. The object is to make your sister happy.
