Hey just wanted to say thanks for sharing your story with us. My nephew who just turned 10 yesterday was diagnosed with Aspbergers Syndrome and now I get to tell my sister that she needs to get him (and his brothers) a pet if they haven't already because it will help him! The boys have been asking for a pet for years. He loved my pets when I was living close by them, so I can see how having a pet helps! Great to know theres a new snake in your family! Have fun with your cinni!
