I have a grandson who is on the spectrum. I would love to think that someday he won’t have to deal with the limitations he has. He’s only six and he’s what used to be considered “high functioning”, so he’ll probably do fine ultimately. But, I think life is going to be hard for him. On the other hand, life can be hard for all of us. I do my part to encourage him and I make sure he knows he’s an awesome person.
I have a grandson who is on the spectrum, as well.
He is now 12 and doing fine in school, with proper medication.............
You are just wonderful, Ma’am, to your grandson. Thank you very much for lending him so much support, morally and otherwise.
It also gladdens my heart to see so much research being done on the subject of autism. Maybe in the future there will be even more medical help available to patients.
I think that is one of the few instances where there has been real progress in recent years.
When I was young, hardly anybody knew much about it (I was not diagnosed until I had turned forty) - and this even went for professionals.
May your grandson, and Mr. Red Badger’s grandson too, ultimately have an easier life that other people on the autistic spectrum had in the past. Your loving support will mean the world to them, I am sure.
God bless you.
