[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 227186, member: 1550"] I was shocked that my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son ever thought about his adoption. He seems to live in the moment. Then once in a while he'll say something that really opens my eyes. He told me about a school assignment. He had to write about something that made him sad, but that he resolved. He said, "I wrote that I was sad I was adopted, but that I decided it was all right and you guys love me." I was floored. When I told my daughter, she was too. "I didn't know L. thought about stuff like that!" I have since started sharing more about his birthfamily with him. There is more inside the turning wheels than I sometimes think, probably because Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids tend to be so quiet and introspective. There's a lot going on in my son's head. He just never shares much. [/QUOTE]
