  • Three is young. What traits do you see? What improvements are you hoping for?

    My nephew didn't speak much till four when he suddenly started talking in fully formed sentences. As children, we master one thing at a time, even sometimes stop working on one thing to focus on another. Autistics don't multi-task exactly and whenever I was forced to I became accident prone. Somewhere in my 30s I learned to not allow others to push me this way. I would've thrived at school with one or 2 subjects a day, maybe a break here or there. But we learn different and once I was able to focus on one thing at a time, I found I learned better, and the results were better. Too many interruptions can be kryptonite to Autistics.
