[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 522580, member: 1514"] MWM....Billy was so socially limited when he was younger. I had never even heard of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or I would have had him dxd. It is a shame. It took him into his twenties to be able to get the anxiety under control that should have been taken care of when he was younger. He did go to community college and got his degree. He learned to drive a few years ago but that is because he had a lot of fear of being on the road...and he scared us. We were very afraid to put him behind the wheel. However he has done very well in retail sales which we never would have thought an aspie could do. He has learned to look people in the eyes and sell like nobodies business. Im not sure how he taught himself this. He said he first started looking at a spot on their noses and then it became easier. Now I would say he is the most responsible of all my kids. He can watch any of the grandchildren. Change diapers and make formula. Pay any bills either online or in person, knows how to make all medical appointments or get a car fixed. He does everything for himself that has to do with himself. Completely. He is even my second on my medical power of attorney. Tony is first of course. [/QUOTE]
