Autism: It Gets Better, But Cherish Each Stage

From blogger Laura Shumaker of SFGate.com.

I was hiking with my dogs early this morning, thinking about how much easier my life has become now that Matthew, who has autism, is an adult. I’d just had a conversation with him about a problem he resolved with one of the people he lives with.
“I was seriously angry with him,” he told me, “and I wanted to yell or throw something at him, but I decided to give him space. Backing off is good sometimes.”
Remarkable.
