This was a fine short piece about a girl who grew up with a best friend, Danny. She never saw Danny as any different from her, though he had Down syndrome. My son has autism and has never been able to make a friend like this-not a human friend, anyway. His best friend was the cat he grew up with. When the cat died suddenly at only 11 years old, we immediately got him another kitten, Gwen, who seemed to know instinctively that he was the reason she was there. He is unable to make and keep close human friends, and I wish he could be like Danny in that way.It was a well written piece.
