I’m trying to figure out how to teach my nonverbal, noncommunicative, 4 year old how to read.

I mean my name isn’t easy! To remember or pronounce (even for me). ;)

He logs on to his own computer account, rips the CDs, asking for help only to scan arcane album covers not listed on the ‘net.

Maybe someday I can send you a copy of his writing. Horrible handwriting (hey, what’s wrong with THAT) but generally impeccable grammar and spelling.

I don’t think he reads much. He CAN read music. All my sons took piano lessons, later to be in secondary school band. Even Ryan marched in the band.

Ryan is a savant about NFL quarterbacks. He used to carry a huge three-ring binder with their cards, memorizing and sorting them in a Rain Man kind of manner. He can tell you everything about any NFL quarterback, even last string players.

He used to work on all those fancy skateboard maneuvers that all the boys would work on, even one of those spin-twist moves.

Sophie will do all these kinds of thing and more!

Now, this sounds like something you with which you ended your This American Life article: Alas, one of Ryan’s more recent writings, at age 32, was an email to Santa. Sigh.
