33. I have a neighbor with an autistic son |
|
She was the first one, five years ago, to suggest I get my daughter tested. I've seen how this woman has to fight for her child, and the problems he has, and I'm thankful for the apparent mildness of AS as compared to severe autism.
I actually looked AS up on the net years ago, but I dismissed it as a possibility because I read that AS people don't have empathy, and I swear my daughter and I have too much empathy rather than not enough. The book I read said that AS people just don't know what to do with empathy, and that sounded much, much more relevant to me and my daughter.
My sympathy for working with those children. I could never do anything like that, but I admire those who try.
