I feel like I finally have the son I knew was in there somewhere.

I haven’t posted since graduation…. In the last 2 weeks [our son] has set up and attended meetings with 2 different schools. He took control of those meetings, asked questions and made decisions about his schooling. passed his written test for his driver’s license scheduled his skills test and will be a licensed driver by next week. And he is currently applying for jobs. All of this from a kid that was diagnosed with Selective Mutism. Someone who before when things did not go the way he thought they should, would shut down completely and never try again. This from a Kid that many friends and family said wouldn’t last 2 weeks at something like IDYCA. Don’t get me wrong it has not all been sunshine and rainbows since his return. But we have had some good heart to heart talks and even some tough talks. I feel like I finally have the son I knew was in there somewhere. Thank you IDYCA for helping him see how amazingly strong he is,and for never quitting on him.
