It must stand for 'Normal' something, right?

Hi! It stands for "neurologically typical" as opposed to having a neurological disability.

It's nice to see another parent joining us. :D Can you tell us a little about yourself and your child/children?

or a neurological "difference" -

it's the "not aspies" out there, usually.

I'm learning a lot here. Thanks. :-) My son is 6 years old. We got the IEP and a real good school. Our neighborhood school was clueless. We drive a bit each day, but it's worth it.

Oh, how I love Colorado...especially around the time of the Telluride Film Festival. I met Meryl Streep there...she is such a nice,
friendly person. Not conceited at all like Alec Baldwin whose mom lives near me in Upstate New York.

Got much snow, yet?

Not much yet this year. It seems to slow down for a year or two, then we get slammed for an entire season - which starts in October and ends in May! Last year was one of the "slam" years.

I am actually from back east and have done much in Upstate New York. Love the Adirondacks. Colorado is much like it, but without the humidity and bugs! I do, however, miss the beautiful Autumn foliage though.
