Once upon a time there was a little boy who had a strange mind, he hooted and he danced and he did not learn like the other children around him. So, he was sent to a special school. For his whole educational life he was separated, because he could not express correctly the answers put before him.
As he grew older he seemed sad and very much in pain. He appeared to try to stop the pain by clawing at his face and arms. He also stopped talking. We, his mom and dad, were very sad.
Then an angel came into our lives and told us of a magic potion.
“But” said the angel. “You must give him the potion every hour of the day and night for him to be better.”
So the little boys’ mom and dad have been doing that now for 9 weeks and 4 days. Every hour.
Now in those hours the mom and dad still cry. Some, because the little boy has been hurting for so long, and….. now they know why. But they also cry because they see that their little boy is not hurting like before. They are happy for his healing, and that he does not claw at his body any more.
And they are also happy because their little boy is talking again. And he is laughing. And the things that he knows surprise them. We thought he was not learning…turns out he was.
