From NYTimes.com Motherlode parenting blog.
For his 21st birthday, my son received cards from friends, relatives and
a favorite elementary-school teacher, yet few of these well wishes were
printed with his age. In searching out my own card for him, I soon
learned why. Tag lines that start, “So you’re 21?’ ” often end with
instructions to go out and tie one on; as my son is on the autism
spectrum, such advice would have been in dubious taste. Yet as much as I
appreciated the senders’ thoughtfulness, I found myself thinking: another difference. Again.
