    Just saw your post, sorry it is late. Our son who is 16.5 years old has had type 1 diabetes for a couple of years, we do have the occasional hypo, but his school are very supportive and he has been involved in all areas of controlling his diabetes. With support he can do blood tests and his insulin injections, please contact me if you wish detailed information.

    I have an autistic wife who has type 1 diabetes?  Hypo's?  Casualty visits in the early hours of the morning?  Sudden collapses roaring drunk?

    Yep. I know.  I'm on the spectrum too and I married it.  In fact, it woke me up last night, yet again.  Her hair matted into dreadlocks by the sweat from her adrenalin going off, bedsheets sodden on her side? 

    Anything you'd like to ask her?

    Paul.
