Thank you for sharing this. My son is 16 and for years he didn’t have any friends. Just since being in high school has he started making friends and now has a best friend who is his friend no matter what. He also has a girlfriend which I never thought would happen, but am so thankful that he has found a good girl that accepts him the way he is, doesn’t want him to change and loves him no matter what.

Just found your blog and wanted to thank you for being so open about your family experiences. I have never really had any firsthand experience with autism and your writing has shed a lot of light on how it affects a family. You have helped me gain a much greater understanding and I just wanted to express my gratitude.
