Scott Art?

The disorder that both of my sons have is called, "Fragile X Syndrome." It had lain silent in my genetic makeup just waiting for the chance to be passed on and made known. There was a fifty/fifty change that my children would end up with it. Both of my sons lost the toss, they both have it. Quite simply, they are developmentally disabled which we used to call, "mentally retarded." These days it's politically incorrect to use that term but I find its easier for people to understand. Both of my sons have the same disorder but they are completely different in their abilities and behavior. My oldest son, Scott, is very verbal, very high level functioning. He can get over stimulated with too much going on or even too much television. We've had to restrict his channels. He loves the cooking channels. Currently his favorite shows are "Julia and Jacques" and "The Two Fat Ladies." "Emeril" has fallen off. I have to say, Scott knows more about cooking than I do! He also watches the home decorating shows and art shows and one of the shopping channels. He was very excited the day I walked in his room and saw "Today's Special Value!" It's how I got my favorite leather jacket.
Scott is quite good with color. When Marianne was in the hospital, a doctor walked in wearing a matching shirt and tie. Scott took note and told the doctor, "I like the shirt and tie. It works really well together." The doctor laughed and replied, "I try." Then he noticed the picture Scott had painted for Marianne. It was bands of color. The doctor liked it so much he asked if Scott would paint him something similar. Scott said he would. On the next visit, Scott brought him the painting. The doctor offered one hundred dollars but Marianne told him that fifty would be more than sufficient. Scott had sold his first painting. Maybe he will make a career out of it and sell more. Scott is now working on "Fall Trees" for Christmas presents. I'll let you know how they turn out.
