When I met my grandson for the first time, I knew immediately that he was different. In fact, when I saw him again a couple of years later, I thought he was possibly autistic. Testing at a major autism center later revealed that he has a condition known as microcephaly (literally, “small headedness&rdquo
. According to Wikipedia, “development of motor functions and speech may be delayed,” and “hyperactivity and intellectual disability are common.” Although my grandson is very coordinated, he has had a very difficult time acquiring language and social skills. At age 14, however, he is coming along pretty well. He even helps his granddad mow the lawn. And now he has a new baby sister, who sadly also has microcephaly, suggesting a strong genetic factor at play. We hear so much about autistism, and the alarm about the incredible increase in that disorder is truly cause for concern. Yet many other neurodevelopmental  disorders are relatively unknown by the general population. What is truly marvelous today is that people on the whole have become more accepting of those who are different. I know this because my grandson is well liked among both his peers and his elders.
