[quote=Anonymous]They were 12. 16 now. Moving into a less restrictive school environment. Talking about college. Has friends. Hobbies that are not video games. Takes showers regularly. Honestly, it was terrifying. They spent probably three or four months doing nothing but screens. I can now recognize they were in autistic burnout. Asperger experts has some helpful advice on this. But once they started to trust that we weren’t going to demand things or take things away or force things or punish, they started to come out of it. This stuff is so so hard. No judgment, just empathy. [/quote]
