    Hi Orlando, 

    My 22 year old daughter has autism. I can tell you that during her teen years were quite a rollercoaster. One time she locked me out of the house and sat in her room screaming like someone was trying to kill her. I had to call the police to get back in. She had sever depression issues including cutting on herself. She had melt downs still where i had to hold onto her even if she was beating on me. She finally evened out, but it was a long road. As a single parent at the time, I had to send her to my broother's house for a year because I was afraid she was going to do something terrible to herself. She is now a responsible young woman and lives on her own.
