a quick thread on #autism, and people.
My son is loud sometimes. Like, really loud.
We work on it every time we go out, it's important to do, and he tries very hard & nails it often. Sometimes not. And over time, I'm inured to nasty little looks & asides-partially because I know how far he has come, but mostly because he gets upset when he sees me upset. Didn't do anyone any good if I laid into the dirty looker, because my son didn't know they were being nasty. He helps me be my best and sunniest person and it's such a blessing,
Anyway-
