[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

Cleta, your son's defensiveness is natural. He will go through phases 
that can include anger, denial, self-pity, blaming and for many, eventual 
acceptance. It's a natural process.
 
I am very happy to know that his classmates are supportive. A lot has 
changed in schools these days. I think more students are more sensitive 
to people with disabilities and that's just great. I think your son 
is going be just fine with so many people pulling for him and having 
a mom like you. He's going to be fine.
