Just something to consider, doctors aren't always right when they tell you things like "your child will never do this or that". It's just a diagnosis based on the best of their medical knowledge, but they are human and they aren't always 100% right.
Example: When my mom was 6 months pregnant with me, they told her that due to a birth defect they'd recently detected, that IF I EVEN survived being born, I wouldn't be able to speak, walk, or perform any basic tasks like feeding/dressing myself, and I would have the brain function of a kindergartener. They said I'd be unable to go to school and she'd be taking care of me 24/7. They suggested that she terminate the pregnancy. Since I was her first, she decided not to.
I am now an absolutely fabulous person with practically a full ride through school. Last time I checked, feeding and dressing myself was not a problem either.
