[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2E kid is 21 and preparing to interview for his first real jobs. The stakes keep getting higher, and to me it seems that he can never quite catch up to his peers in terms of social polish and general functionality. I never once thought he was out of the woods, and the moments he has been "seen" by others at his best have been rare and far between. Because it all depends where your child's strengths and weaknesses lie, don't they, OP? My son has severe ADHD, autism, low processing speed, and is visibly quirky. He will always be burdened by these things. My mildly autistic teen DD, on the other hand, masks wonderfully and I am not concerned for her like I am with my son. [/quote] Sometimes I worry more with my "good masker," knowing that is taking a toll and may come to a head in the future.[/quote]
