Lovely thought salad - can I have some more please!. You explained it very well - clearly you've had hours and hours of floor time. Your kids are blessed.

Diagnostically speaking, I also have High Functioning ASD. Its difficult to identify with because I've lived my life not knowing and only finding out after my daughter was diagnosed. We carry a modified chromosome that may shed some light on the heritability of sensory differences. Thank you, I do believe they're blessed. I'm very lucky. My youngest son is entering full inclusive next year so he'll no longer be in special classes and will be fully integrated with his classmates the whole school day.♥️
A person's level of mastery is fluid, and his ability to tackle the next problem is not static or immutable. I consider intelligence to be best thought of as the ability to learn new things rather than how much someone knows. The tools we use to asses all manner of individual differences, is developing in that direction. If a learner (child) has a teacher (parent) that reacts to him in ways that assist him to master that next milestone, he is blessed. It's what I initially meant - that they are blessed to have you! :-)
Ah! Blessed to have me? Well, humbling myself here; I'd have to reverse that. But perhaps you're right. Or, perhaps it's mutual. I do take great pride in being a mom, and a bridge builder (and sometimes, bridge burner ha-ha.) I'm truly in love several times over ♥️
Agreed intelligence is how to think, not what to think. I appreciate that affirmation. I think it was Einstein that said, ''education is not the learning of facts, it’s rather the training of the mind to think.''
