Hello from an all-autistic family!

Hi! I’m Antony, and I decided to check this place out because I needed somewhere to ask questions and get advice for myself and my family, who are all autistic. No one in my household was diagnosed early on, even through all of us probably should’ve been, so we’ve been making it work and trucking along on our own for the most part.

Most of my questions will probably be on behalf of my brother in law, who has medium support needs and uses AAC, and who I and my husband are carers for. I’m not exactly new to this, we all met about eight years ago and we’ve been living together since 2023, but there are some things that are hard to figure out by oneself.

Hopefully this forum will make it easier for me to ask questions without sifting through mommy blogs and exclusively kid-focused articles. I look forward to getting to know this community. :-)
