#4 Acts as though nothing bothers them (or that everything bothers them)

While poking around in the stats of my site, I found that someone had recently viewed this post. Since it was written 5 years ago (how can that be?!) I couldn’t remember exactly what I had said, so I stopped out to read it. Wow, I hadn’t realized I had come so far in the past five years. I now no longer freak out inside when my husband rounds his numbers when dealing with time (or other things). Now I have a new challenge, trying to keep the peace (while not laughing or saying, “I told you so,”) between my husband and son, who is also on the autism spectrum and hasn’t grown beyond the freak-out stage of rounded numbers!

So for all of you struggling with autism, or struggling with someone with autism, don’t give up. With a lot of persistence, and even more prayer, you, too can get beyond freaking out about the minor things in life. One freak-out at a time!

I found out that I have Autism upon having a son with the same disorder. Ironically, I was voted, "Most Likely to Succeed," by my high school classmates. But had I been born now, instead of 50+ years ago, I would have been considered a different sort of special. This site was started to encourage other Autistics and the people who love them .
