Holly Robinson Peete

After watching Holly describe how she went thru the agonizing discovery that her son was autistic, I felt the need to share my story. My daughter, Tina, was born on Feb 22, 1964. When the doctor came into to seeme, after she had had a complete blook transfusion, he told me she was a Down Syndrome child and she would never do anything but crawl around and drool. At the ripe old age of 18 I decided he was wrong. My wonderful ob/gyn doctor sat with me and told me to take her home and let her grow. Just lets see what she CAN do. She has turned into a wonderful, but very small, young lady. Tina has worked at the Guild of ST Agnes in Worcester MA for over 15 years and as she goes off to work every day she wishes me a good day. She has thrived in the working world with her friends and enjoys many social events with them. If I had listened to the Pediatrician and placed her in a home she probably would be just crawling around and drooling. Thank you for your time and I understand .

Wow, I can so relate to Holly, we raised 5 boys who played EVERY sport. The most fun was college lacrosse!! Especially because we are african americans and you didn't see us on the lacrosse field. We still are raising a 14yr.old.sports sports sports.

I think it's great what you did for the mother with 3 boys with Autism. I am however very disappointed that the 19 yr old son who helps his mother with these boys didn't get anything! He takes on the role of "man of the house" and it was poor mom. He obviously hasn't had a normal childhood because of living in the househole. He too deserved the iPad.

I used to like the Apprentice but I feel that Donald Trump and family are not fair in their judging. They cater to their friends and on both ocasions that the Black candidates should have won he either tried to have two winners and/or gave it to Brett on a sympathy vote. I will never watch it again. It was clear that Holly should have won. She worked hard consistently throughout the program and brought in more money than any candidate ever. Yet, she did not win and that was totally unfair. Maybe there should be a few more judges who are not so influenced by Donald Trump.
