Also, I like your house rules. My mom told me I'd have to pick my battles because there's no way any kid is perfect and I would kill myself trying to enforce perfection. This was way before any Dx. I did pick and choose, but now I wonder if some of the battles I did pick were the wrong ones. Even now, I wonder if the rules in place are the right ones.
I started reading to him every night when he was less than a year old and continued until he was 6 or 7 - yes, old enough to read for himself, but not the particular books he wanted read to him. By the time he was in kindergarten, his vocabulary was impressive and amazed some of his teachers.t I do wonder about his internalizations of some words - the context doesn't seem quite right sometimes.
