what a poetic way to make people understand:I’m curious—and a little frightened—to see what awaits me at home. I think about the Leafblower Conundrum and the way Allen’s brain works. I mull over the Rich Club network that makes my son’s mind function like multi-layered highways with confusing exits." I read this a few times.

And I am just learning that all situations can use some breathing space. Tech age makes us think we need to respond right away.

Thanks for this gentle reminder. Every time I read your posts, I realize what a great mother you are. You work with loads of patience and understanding. That must have made you a good teacher too. Thannkyou!

Charu, thank you for reading and your response! I learn SO much from my son, just as I did from my ESL students. Being Allen's mom takes patience, but I know that God did not make a mistake when he granted me my blue-eyed boy.
