DEMO A demo for April Autism Awareness month

[Paradox916]

Two other books of potential relevance, written by my sister in law:

• The Autism Mom's Survival Guide (for Dads, too!) - https://www.amazon.com/Autism-Moms-Survival-Guide-Dads/dp/1590307534/
• Making Peace with Autism: One Family's Story of Struggle, Discovery, and Unexpected Gifts - https://www.amazon.com/Making-Peace-Autism-Discovery-Unexpected-ebook/dp/B00AITRJS4/

The reason I jump is a really insightful book. Made me realize that some people on the spectrum experience of time is not linear like someone who is neuro typical. And once I realized that It has helped me understand some of my daughters behaviors and how to accommodate her needs better, along with how to help her process the world around her.

My 15 year old son is low functioning autistic (level 3, although this is the first time I've heard the term).

There are more of us here than you probably realize.

Same - my 13 year old is moving from level 3 to level 2 on that scale (hadn't heard about it either) because of a lot of hard work from both him and us

I’m a bit late to this but I found post informative, the demo entertaining and the both of them inspiring. My only personal experience is some friends who have a child who is probably level 1 based on reading the op, although some of level 2 has been experienced. Generally things are going well for them but there were rough times.
