    • About Me

      I am a retired Mom of Tony, age 28, adopted. We live on the Ms Gulf Coast. Tony has a DX of Asperger Syndrome. Tony is doing O.K. He lives alone, has decided not to learn to drive for fear of going into road rage. Is worried because he is having recurrent night mares to where his anger over comes him and he murders someone. This worries me also. Pray for us.
