    To be fair to PO, I don't think she actually meant what she appeared to mean. Whe she explained (which she has now deleted) it did make more sense. I disagreed with her but I don't think she was being nasty.

    well done to your son! I think 'personal' qualities are far more important than academic acheivements - and to be voted this is something to be treasured!

    Gingin, yes, he has Down's Syndrome. He also has a large number of medical problems, including several that are not directly related to the DS. Despite everything, including pain from hypermobile joints, he is quite a cheerful little fella. He has a very cheeky laugh :)

    Could not be more pleased for your son over his achievement. And you, KFB, for the warm glow that such a boost to him must be giving you.;)
