Charlie's been saying 'Miss Kathy' on and off. She was his teacher when he was 4-5 years old and I think he's said her name because school has started, but we also think back 11 years ago and we remember.

Something tells me that Charlie remembers 11 years ago just like we do.

I do think he does. He had just been moved to miss Kathy's room, an aba autism class, after being in a special ed preschool class -- so it was thought he needed more supports -- it would have been a tough move but miss Kathy was the kind of teacher we all hope our kids can have at some point in their years at school.
