Hi, this is Sly's mom and I want to finsh Sly's story.  We were in Louisiana and Sly was regressing; the school and state would not help. I asked my brother in California who did not have any childern, and a new wife, to PLEASE take Sly so he could get services. Sly started middle school in California, in Orange County. He graduated from San Clemente High School with a diploma. These years were hard on the whole famliy Sly had ups and downs.

He loves to draw, play viedo games, and watch movies, Sly has held seven jobs in the past eight years. He has lived in his own apartment for three years in Long Beach, California making all the same mistakes young adults make the first time on their on. Today his biggest wish is to be able to make friends,  maybe get a girlfriend. Sly moved back home six months ago to Louisiana and he tells me all the time that he is very happy. So am I; my honeybun is home.
