  1. The ARC is a community-based national organization for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. Here is the list of all the chapters in TX: https://www.thearc.org/Page.aspx?&pid=332 Check out the Council for Exceptional Children. A lot of their information is for educators; however, they have have resources for families, as well. Sounds like you have some great support. Early intervention and high expectations are essential. As he gets older, there will be people who will say your son can't do something without even giving him the opportunity.
  2. People with Down Syndrome definitely have obstacles to overcome; however, their limitations are often defined by others.
  3. My Ph.D. is in special education and most of my work is focused on developing assessments to help improve postsecondary outcomes for individuals with significant cognitive disabilities. One of my Uncles, who is more like my brother, has Down Syndrome. My father was a professor of special education for over 30 years; and my grandparents were at the forefront of the movement to include kids with disabilities in the community. Are you connected with your local ARC community?
  4. It's not fancy at all; however, Rocco's has good food, counter seating, and a TV with some sport always playing. I used to live across the street and would see Nate Thurmond (NBA HoF) there all the time. As an added bonus, it's across from City Beer Store.
  5. Korgui in Madrid is a great place for food and cocktails. Commo for late night beer pong tournaments.
  6. Yes. Get there early, Gardner. There's limited seating and always a line. Or, you can order food to go and take an Uber to a scenic spot. If you want to eat there, you can order beer or wine to drink while you wait in line.
  7. 5,000 in a month gets you access to videos of ltbear's wife
  8. Devil in the White City is in development. Scorcese and DiCaprio. Who knows if it will actually happen. I'm hoping it does. One of my favorite books.
  9. Texas' next coach needs to know how to coach on offense. Maybe recruit some guys who have high basketball IQs. And there has to be a couple of high school kids in TX who nail 3s consistently.
  10. Whatever age it is you can sign up to die for your country is the age you should be able to purchase alcohol.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    People who drop off their stuff on a bench then go to the locker room to get changed.
  12. My son (10) is on a two-night field trip. Missing my main dude. Having 1-on-1 time with my daughter (7) has been awesome.
