I used to be very close to autistic... I had an accident that injured me quite badly and now I'm actually more well rounded now...

Before - 2nd grade IQ test - 147 Mental 99 Physical IQ
Now - 130 Mental 129 Physical

The 2nd grade test was taken after I fell out of a grocery cart, and we used it as evidence that I received brain damage...but we lost because my mental IQ was so high :/

I'd just like to say that your kid is going to probably grow up to be one of those strong, silent types. The girls are going to love him. ;)

Evidence? wait your saying lawsuit? So you fell out of a cart because your mother and/or father were not watching you so that you wouldn't fall out, And they blame the store?
