| Participating in a research study may answer that question. Genetic testing and brain scans would be a lot more useful than speculating. https://www.autismspeaks.org/expert-opinion/genetic-testing-autism Families can also join a genetics research study to help us understand more about and find new g... |

| It may make a lot of sense if you have a husband with a good job that will support the family and parents who will help raise the child. |

I remember when people with autism weren't expected to have relationships.
Apparently that has changed to the point where people worry that they aren't living up to expectations if they don't have a relationship. |

Sorry to hear that.
These are pretty tough times for a lot of people as the federal government is being reorganized.
Hopefully things will get better but for now a lot of people are frustrated. |

Changing my gender presentation to match my voice and mannerisms has made it much easier to socialize!
Seems obvious but it took me decades to figure out!
Trying to match my birth gender put me in the "uncanny valley" between male and female. |

Some ideas.
Stay only a short time.
Sit off to one side where it is quieter.
Sometimes sitting in the front row of a presentation is best because it is easier to tune out distractions.
Make sure you get plenty of sleep before going!
Layer your clothes so you can easily adjust to the temperature. |

A very useful relationship skill is learning to listen to a partner.
Obviously you can't do that if you are constantly talking about your special interest. |

I've gotten help from my next door neighbors.
I had a flat tire and was able to use his "friend and family" discount to get an entire set of four for just $300! |
