My wife was a very successful special needs primary teacher who got a huge buzz out of managing to communicate with challenged kids that few could get through to. Being inspired by her, I try to get through to LL. Clearly I don't have her skills, and I suspect she'd struggle with his locked-in childish mind. But I will persist, as I am a humanitarian, & I believe I can eventually get through to him .................................. and get him to stfu & leave us alone
Nope, but every now & again the straightjacket comes off & if I'm a really good boy I get to go out for 10 mins
