Okay we are in special school, that brands us as thick to start off with, and we know we don't always cope with the world in the best way, we do try, and we do have problems with a lot of adults who assume we are stupid or bad, you know sometimes people talking AT us is like hearing a foreign language we get overloaded, we just cannot process everything coming at us, and getting angry and yelling at us stresses us more and lowers the chances of us understanding. We are not the smartest kinds in school but we aren't stupid either, for a long time we let other people convince us we were stupid. That's stopped now, we won't take it any more. With a bit of humanity from others we cope most of the time.

I like to think that my son just has a different way of thinking, it's not wrong, just different.
I think you both are doing great! I would be so happy when my son is 13-15 if he's able to write as coherently as you, and express himself in this way.
