Hey there!

[Michelle]

Hello everyone! I'm also a new member to the forums & am thrilled to have found such a wonderful place to talk & learn from so many people here. I'm 39years old & yesterday celebrated the 55th birthday of my very special autistic uncle. Consequently, until the movie "Rainman" aired back in 1980's ....our family had no idea "what" my uncle's computer like mind & behavior was all about. I'm so looking forward to hearing from anyone who wants to share or chat.

Welcome to the group! We also loved Rainman! Has your uncle watched that movie? My son has some favorite parts such as the Kmart scene.
