Going into a new relation isn't something easy so reacting quickly and only based on your immediate feelings could have negative repercussions. I have friends who have autism. Problem is autism ranges in a broad spectrum, so everyone is affected differently. One of these friends' mother hammered social ettiquette into her. Even though she finds it hard to show empathy and intuitively react in social situations, she has had these mannerisms codified out of repetition by her mother and it allows her to seemingly act normal is most social situations. And she's a good person in her heart, so that helps as well. Understanding how autism affects someone is a big deal in learning how to cope and react to it. |
I here you. I want to take care of my family first. Problem is, I don't know how to do that. Do I stay a unit until I can financially support myself and them.. then move out and pay child support and do visitation? Cause I think that's the right answer.. please help me out on that.
Everything gets hammered into my kid. It was hard but the first thing he learned how to do was "wave" hi and bye. and he does it with his hand backwards, and needs prompting "say bye". If there's no huge reward like ice cream or what not then he refuses to learn anything new and it takes massive repetition. Sometimes he flat out refuses to do something and then months later he's suddenly an expert at it.
Thank you for sharing your insight man it really is nice to hear peoples perspectives. I get overwhelmed by my reality and lose focus. So your reply is helpful to see things from a more normal angle.
