hi

hi everyone.  I'm mum to a young adult man with autism.  He's in supported living. I first came across the nas when he was about 4 when they were very helpful in letting us access a course they'd arranged.  I've been a member for years but didn't realise there was a discussion forum.....really pleased about that!  We've certainly had our ups and downs over the yrs, to put it mildly, so I hope I can be a useful contributor and also learn from all of you.

  • My son makes me proud - I just wish he could have more self esteem and feel that pride in himself. Crystal, what you said about your son being at different stages in different ways really resounds with me. Jack is very intelligent and perceptive and sometimes almost seems middle aged, but emotionally he is very immature and still like cuddles with mummy :)
