Our mother said that when Jourdain was diagnosed at the age of 3 years old she was told to institutionalize him because he was would not ever be able to function normally.

Even if 5:00a.m. seems too early, I know that school is important for my future and also if I plan on doing that traveling while I’m in the military.
