My dad was always very cerebral and usually distant,but had a heart of gold. Underneath he was a total mush pot and the love letters he wrote my mother from the age of 13 until the last one he wrote her when she was in a nursing home and totally uncomunicative ,would warm your heart. I remember him explaining some of the laws of physics to me when I was in elementary school,I remember him looking with a critical eye on the world and yet falling asleep on the floor with Cody his,and my dog,and I remember him in his early 30s,crawling around on the floor with a rug over his head scaring the heck out of my brother and I one Halloween. He was a dichotomy just as we all are.

That was fascinating! Thanks, Casey.

Lots of great pics

That is a great one... I got through all levels. Not too fast, but I got through them all... Here is a link that might be useful: Living with autism, my son's story
