Good. My son is 18. He didn’t start talking until about 4. He was diagnosed with a language disorder on top of autism and adhd when he was 16. But he is able to have conversations now.
I’m doing better now that he’s 18 and he is much more independent. I signed him up for a semester at the community college there was a program thru the autism center for teens and young adults. He went twice a week and had group and individual counseling as well as an internship. I hated the drive since it was 45 min each way and I had to hang out for 2-3 hours instead of driving back and forth. But it was well worth it. He’s had a lot of growth since last year. He even just finished drivers Ed and is looking for a job!
My greatest worry has always been what will happen to him when me and my husband are gone.

This gets my eyes watery every time. I’ve been there and I know how she feels in that moment.
