Autism gene is pretty strong….. even the high functioning one…. No executive functioning, no ability to care or see needs, can’t cover date well about real stuff, little situational awareness, no remembering how to do things that aren’t fascinating… [/quote]

I know plenty of people with autism who are accomplished, loyal and deeply care about family members. But they do have trouble reading social cues and be somewhat oblivious to the needs of others without a little prodding. However, as they are so literally minded, with a little direction, they can be amazing, helpful and caring family members.[/quote]
Have you ever lived with one of them for long?[/quote]

30 years 
20 years 
13 years

I think that qualifies right?

But I hear ya - man, it is not always a walk in the park … [/quote]

I wish we could talk.  I watched my sister turn into a shell with her aspie husband and sons. One still lives at home, other is divorced. It’s been 40 years for her, most not know what was going on with them, but hopefully it’s a different era now for all of that. [/quote]
