[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there hope for (relatively) mildly autistic kids to have somewhat normal lives? To grow up and get married, have kids, have fulfilling normal relationships and careers? I guess I’m trying to figure out what adulthood looks like [/quote] I thought my kid was on track for all of this until middle school and the teen years hit. I'm less certain now. Ask me again in five more years. My advice for you is that at each different stage of your kid's development you will need to do - and be - something different for them. Don't live in the future (worrying too far ahead) but also, don't live in the past (re-trying that successful thing you did a year ago when it's time to move on). [/quote]
