Or indeed, drives! J is taking driving lessons - he hasn't progressed beyond first gear yet, and he is still mastering steering, but he is on the public roads, and I have faith that he will eventually get into second gear, and who knows, one day he may become one of that small group of people with DS who have passed their driving test. I firmly believe that he can do anything he sets his mind to, given time and sensible instruction. If so, you'll be the first to hear about it!Hi Scally, I was led to believe that M would stop learning much by his mid 20's, however that is totally wrong. At 34, he seems to be learning things faster and faster, his language in particular has come on in leaps and bounds. He is extremely organised now, in a way I would never have believed possible even 10 years ago. It's just a matter of lots and lots of tiny steps towards independence.
