My son is autistic. He has Asperger’s Syndrome. He his extremely bright, curious, loving, challenging and exhausting. Big boy, but he remains socially behind by two years. There are days when I just want to pull my hair out from the chaos. But what Mom doesn’t?

He sees the world in black and white, right and wrong. Guess what? I am proud of it. When he was taught about the Ten Commandments, he said Okay, that’s it. God gave us these rules and they are to be followed. His only problem is why other people don’t get it. Yes, his brain works differently. He can see spatial connections that look likes gobbledeegook to me. He is a good student, but horribly disorganized when left to his own devices.Guess what I am saying is it is a mistake to remove this gene. My husband and I would say no thank you. The more important opinion is he would too.

I think that good moms are hand picked by God. You have reason to be very proud, mom.

I have met autistic children, I don’t think they’re broken, I think they are special.

Poking around FR and found your post. I have a similarly afflicted grandson. I think these people are designer babies. We need all of them we can get.

I would like to know what causes it and what will the next generation be like.
