I'm new here. I'm a mother with a 4 year old boy who is level 3 autistic and nonverbal. He is my whole world and I love him so much. I joined this forum because I wanted to meet autistic adults who can give me insight on what it's like living with this diagnosis. I don't know any autistic adults (that I know of) and I want to be aware of potential struggles or pitfalls or even joyful experiences that are uniquely autistic so that I can be best prepared to be his mom. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all.
 
Hi @PinkyandtheB , welcome to the forum :) we are a mixed group, including a bunch of autistic adults ;) There are plenty of threads to read and chime in on, and you can always create your own to ask questions or just talk about your experiences.
 
Great you came to this forum for ideas. I homeschooled my daughter by 2nd grade. It was difficult to send my little warrior princess off to a school where she struggled with sensory issues, bullies. She finally went to a performing arts high school. She graduated this year from college, and is working a job.
 
Hello & welcome @PinkyandtheB.

I am an ASD1 dad with an ASD2 son (36) & ASD3 daughter (29). I have, at least, two ASD1s (32* & 25**) and children with mental illnesses without autism.

Welcome! I don't have experience with ASD3, I am just an ASD1 mother of two and it is nice to have more mothers here. Please share some stories of your son!
 
A lot of use are undiagnosed, quietly blend in. Keep in mind Albert Einstein refused to speak during his early years
when asked as an adult he stated he did not feel inclined to join any conversations? ss there was nothing worth talking about. In the lower grades my mother told me teach was told her I was retarded a year later I was some sort of genius she was very confused I remember thinking I know who I am. I read everything newspapers encyclopedias.
dictionaries. I settled down to being a bit brighter than average. Took years to see who I really was normal was not it.
