I missed most of my educational opportunity being placed in “Life-skills” with some others like me and some who are more truly unable to answer the questions.  We “learned” the ABCs, how to tell time, and how to count money and listen to stories over and over again, year after year.  For two years, I was also in Applied Behavior Therapy and Verbal Behavior Therapy.  I’ll write about these experiences in the future.  Some of my old friends are still stuck in silence.
