Thanks for sharing. We too have an adult son with autism.

I appreciate you sharing your experience which is validating. We have some similarities with our situations. Our son is incredible and also living on his own. He even graduated from BYU, but we don't know if he'll ever be able to provide for himself. One day at a time.
