I've been coming across more and stuff about aspergers and autism, I think I have (had?) it and I know my son shows signs of having it. He's 3, my parents swear he acts just like I did as a child, barely talks human, made up his own language at 1.5 and insisted that we speak that instead, organizes his collections of plastic dinosaurs and farm animal obsessively, and has the compulsion to dispense ever squeeze bottle that he get his hands on all over the place. I do spank (not beat) him lightly for some things, but I love him through the tantrums, the pretensions that he can't hear me, and all of his other quirks. My wife and I love him TO DEATH. He is absolutely the most cuddly, loveable kid on the planet. The suggestion of euthanizing a child for any reason is abolutely ludicrous.

Oh, and he knows every line to Cars and Flushed Away. He talks to the TV, not us ;)
