Thank you - My younger son has moderate autism. He is only 8 so i would love to understand more of how it affects you as you get older. Do you feel like you grew out of some of the behaviors?
I'm sorry to say I don't think I really grew out of any of it. It could be different for him though. I think a big part of it is learning to live with the effects and how to either decrease them or use them to your advantage. For instance I am a very rigid thinker, which although it can get me into trouble (e.g. not doing homework because I don't see the point), it also has the effect of making me really good at arguing. So I think its very subjective.
