Author's Note:

This is the story I was having a poll between Matt and Daniel(Radcliff). Now I see the title picture for it Matt fits this story better. This is the Manny story I was talking about. Yeah, you're thinking right. Manny- as in Male Nanny. A lot of the negative and positive moments come from my own life as well as a lot of parents/ grandparents I know who are all raising children who have different ranges of Autism.

I have met parents at this support group that I go to(throughout the years) who are single cause their spouses or the other parent left cause it was too hard to take. Or the parents didn't want the kid, so the grandparents took over and legally became the parents for the kids. All ages from babies to older adults that are MR (Mildly Retarded- I hate that word) to HF- Highly Functional (a lot of autistic children/ adults are in this category) to Savant (the rarest form of Autism- it is what the guy from Rain Man had).

My own baby included (he was officially categorized to have shown he's in between MR and lightly HF. Jake's thing that calms him down is a Nick Jr cartoon, calledMAX AND RUBY and Justin Timberlake's Justified album and the first 3 videos (Like I love you, Cry Me A River, and Rock Your Body.) it's never failed and he's been in love with them since he was three months old.

The relationship she had with the dad comes from accounts of people I met (men and women who told me that their significant others couldn't or wouldn't handle it. And the grandparents who were left with the kids by their own children. Making their grandchildren, the children. And of course, the cougar relationship between Rachael and Tyler is of course fictional.

Also, Parkson Talent is fake. I made it up. So, is not real....at least to my knowledge(at the time this was created and written).

Dedication:

This story is dedicated to all those who are raising and have raised children, teens, & adults throughout the Autism & Aspergers spectrum. And to my son...my sweet baby(now teen)Jakob Christopher, who is non-verbal, severely autistic.
